Proverbs 30:24-33 ▼

24 Four [are] little ones of earth, || And they are made wiser than the wise:

25 The ants [are] a people not strong, || And they prepare their food in summer,

26 hyraxes [are] a people not strong, || And they place their house in a rock,

27 There is no king to the locust, || And it goes out—each one shouting,

28 A spider with two hands takes hold, || And is in the palaces of a king.

29 There are three going well, || Indeed, four are good in going:

30 An old lion—mighty among beasts, || That does not turn back from the face of any,

31 A girt one of the loins, || Also a male goat, || And a king—troops with him.

32 If you have been foolish in lifting yourself up, || And if you have devised evil—hand to mouth!

33 For the churning of milk brings out butter, || And the wringing of the nose brings out blood, || And the forcing of anger brings out strife!
