Proverbs 27:26

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The Iambs are for thy clothing. Thy sheep will provide thee with clothing by their skin and wool, and by the money which thou wilt obtain by the sale of them. The goats are the price of the field; the sale of thy goats and their produce will pay for thy field if thou wish to buy it (see on Proverbs 30:31).

Septuagint, "That thou mayest have sheep for clothing; honour thy land that thou mayest have lambs."
