Proverbs 30:24
Compare all
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;
