23 A
1 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 aThe
1 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 The
1 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;
