Exegesis
The final term attudim {עַתּוּדִֽים | ʿaṭ·tû·dîm} ‘goats’ represents the source of value in this chain. The omission of the copula in each clause, characteristic of Hebrew proverbs, creates concise parallelism, which is rendered in English by supplying “will be” for clarity and rearranging word order to distinguish the two balanced statements.
Root and etymology

In context — Proverbs 27:26
