Proverbs 23:18

Context

23:18 For surely there is a future, 1 

and your hope will not be cut off. 2 

Proverbs 27:26

Context

27:26 the lambs will be for your clothing,

and the goats will be for the price of a field. 3 

1 tn Heb “end” (so KJV); ASV “a reward.”

2 sn The saying is an understatement; far from being cut off, the “hope” will be realized in the end. So this saying, the thirteenth, advises people to be zealous for the fear of the Lord, their religion, rather than for anything that sinners have to offer.

3 sn Verse 25 is the protasis and v. 26 the apodosis. The two verses say that when the harvest is taken in, then the grass will grow, and they can sell and use their livestock. The lambs will provide clothing, and the goats when sold will pay for land.
