Proverbs 30:29 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 30:29

There be three [things] which go well
In a very orderly and composed manner; with constancy and cheerfulness, with great stateliness and majesty, intrepidly, and without fear; yea, four are comely in going;
very beautiful and lovely to look at as they walk.

Proverbs 30:29 In-Context

27 locusts - leaderless insects, yet they strip the field like an army regiment;
28 lizards - easy enough to catch, but they sneak past vigilant palace guards. Four Dignitaries
29 There are three solemn dignitaries, four that are impressive in their bearing -
30 a lion, king of the beasts, deferring to none;
31 a rooster, proud and strutting; a billy goat; a head of state in stately procession.
