Proverbs - ch 30 v 21 - 33
- Under three things the earth is disquieted, and under four it cannot bear up:
- Under a servant when he reigneth, and a churl when he is filled with meat;
- under an odious woman when she is married, and a handmaid when she is heir to her mistress.
- There are four things little upon the earth, and they are exceeding wise:
- The ants, a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;
- the rock-badgers are but a feeble folk, yet they make their house in the cliff;
- the locusts have no king, yet they go forth all of them by bands;
- thou takest hold of the lizard with the hands, yet is she in kings' palaces.
- There are three things which have a stately step, and four are comely in going:
- The lion, mighty among beasts, which turneth not away for any;
- a horse girt in the loins; or the he-goat; and a king, against whom none can rise up.
- If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay the hand upon thy mouth.
- For the pressing of milk bringeth forth butter, and the pressing of the nose bringeth forth blood; and the pressing of anger bringeth forth strife.
