Proverbs 30:26-33

26 lepusculus plebs invalida quae conlocat in petra cubile suum
27 regem lucusta non habet et egreditur universa per turmas
28 stilio manibus nititur et moratur in aedibus regis
29 tria sunt quae bene gradiuntur et quartum quod incedit feliciter
30 leo fortissimus bestiarum ad nullius pavebit occursum
31 gallus succinctus lumbos et aries nec est rex qui resistat ei
32 et qui stultus apparuit postquam elatus est in sublime si enim intellexisset ori inposuisset manum
33 qui autem fortiter premit ubera ad eliciendum lac exprimit butyrum et qui vehementer emungitur elicit sanguinem et qui provocat iras producit discordias

INTRODUCTION TO 1 KINGS 17

This chapter begins with a prophecy of Elijah, that there should be want of rain for some years to come, and he is directed to go first to the brook Cherith, where he should be fed by ravens, 1Ki 17:1-7, and afterwards he is sent to a widow at Zarephath, where he, she, and her son, were supported for a considerable time with a handful of meal, and a little oil in a cruse miraculously increased, 1Ki 17:8-16, whose son falling sick and dying, he restored to life, 1Ki 17:17-24.
