Proverbs 30:22-33

30:22 under a servant who becomes king,

under a fool who is stuffed with food,

30:23 under an unloved woman who is married,

and under a female servant who dispossesses her mistress.

30:24 There are four things on earth that are small,

but they are exceedingly wise:

30:25 ants are creatures with little strength,

but they prepare their food in the summer;

30:26 rock badgers are creatures with little power,

but they make their homes in the crags;

30:27 locusts have no king,

but they all go forward by ranks;

30:28 a lizard you can catch with the hand,

but it gets into the palaces of the king.

30:29 There are three things that are magnificent in their step,

four things that move about magnificently:

30:30 a lion, mightiest of the beasts,

who does not retreat from anything;

30:31 a strutting rooster, a male goat,

and a king with his army around him.

30:32 If you have done foolishly by exalting yourself

or if you have planned evil,

put your hand over your mouth!

30:33 For as the churning of milk produces butter

and as punching the nose produces blood,

so stirring up anger produces strife.
