24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise: |
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer; |
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks; |
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands; |
28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces. |
29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going: |
30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any; |
31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up. |
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth. |
33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife. |
