Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds;

American Standard Version
Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, And look well to thy herds:

Young's Literal Translation

Proverbs 27:23 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

The state of thy flocks - The directions to the end of the chapter refer chiefly to pastoral and agricultural affairs. Do not trust thy flocks to the shepherd merely; number them thyself; look into their condition; see how they are tended; and when, and with what, and in what proportion, they are fed.
