There are four very little things of the earth, and they are wiser than the wise.
25
The ants, a feeble people, which provide themselves food in the harvest:
26
The rabbit, a weak people, which maketh its bed in the rock:
27

28
The stellio supporteth itself on hands, and dwelleth in kings’ houses.

There are three things, which go well, and the fourth that walketh happily:
30
A lion, the strongest of beasts, who hath no fear of any thing he meeteth:
31
A cock girded about the loins: and a ram: and a king, whom none can resist.
32
There is that hath appeared a fool after he was lifted up on high: for if he had understood, he would have laid his hand upon his mouth.

And he that strongly squeezeth the paps to bring out milk, straineth out butter: and he that violently bloweth his nose, bringeth out blood: and he that provoketh wrath, bringeth forth strife.
