23
For an odious [woman] when she is married; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24
There are four [things which are] little upon the earth, but they [are] very wise:
25
The ants [are] a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer;
26
The conies [are but] a feeble people, yet they make their houses in the rocks;
27
The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28
The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in king's palaces.
29
There are three [things] which go well, yes, four are comely in going:
30
A lion, [which is] strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
31
A greyhound; a he-goat also; and a king, against whom [there is] no rising up.
32
If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, [lay] thy hand upon thy mouth.
33
Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
