Verse
Proverbs - ch 30 v 21 - 33
- For three things the earth is moved, and there are four which it will not put up with:
- A servant when he becomes a king; a man without sense when his wealth is increased;
- A hated woman when she is married; and a servant-girl who takes the place of her master's wife.
- There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are very wise:
- The ants are a people not strong, but they put by a store of food in the summer;
- The conies are only a feeble people, but they make their houses in the rocks;
- The locusts have no king, but they all go out in bands;
- You may take the lizard in your hands, but it is in kings' houses.
- There are three things whose steps are good to see, even four whose goings are fair:
- The lion, which is strongest among beasts, not turning from his way for any;
- The war-horse, and the he-goat, and the king when his army is with him.
- If you have done foolishly in lifting yourself up, or if you have had evil designs, put your hand over your mouth.
- The shaking of milk makes butter, and the twisting of the nose makes blood come: so the forcing of wrath is a cause of fighting.
