Proverbs 30:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 30:24

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;

26 ^aThe¹ rock badgers are a feeble folk,
Yet they make their homes in the crags;

27 The locusts have no king,
Yet they all advance in ranks;

28 The¹ spider skillfully grasps with its hands,
And it is in kings’ palaces.

29 There are three things which are majestic in pace,
Yes, four which are stately in walk:

30 A lion, which is mighty among beasts
And does not turn away from any;
