Proverbs 30:23
Compare all
21 For three things the earth is perturbed,
Yes, for four it cannot bear up:
22 aFor a servant when he reigns,
A fool when he is filled with food, 
23 A1 hateful woman when she is married,
And a maidservant who succeeds her mistress. 
24 There are four things which are little on the earth,
But they are exceedingly wise:
25 aThe ants are a people not strong,
Yet they prepare their food in the summer;
