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.
