25 When the hay is removed and new growth appears and the grass from the hills is gathered in,
25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered.
25 When the grass is gone and the new growth appears and the vegetation of the mountains is gathered,
25 And then, when the crops are in and the harvest is stored in the barns,
25 When the hay is removed, and the tender grass shows itself, And the herbs of the mountains are gathered in,
25 After the hay is harvested and the new crop appears and the mountain grasses are gathered in,

Commentary on Proverbs 27:23-27
(Read Proverbs 27:23-27)
We ought to have some business to do in this world, and not to live in idleness, and not to meddle with what we do not understand. We must be diligent and take pains. Let us do what we can, still the world cannot be secured to us, therefore we must choose a more lasting portion; but by the blessing of God upon our honest labours, we may expect to enjoy as much of earthly blessings as is good for us.
