21
For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
22
for a servant when he reigneth, and a fool when he is filled with meat,
23
for an odious woman when she is married, and a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.
24
There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25
the ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26
the conies are but a feeble folk, yet they make their houses in the rocks;
27
the locusts have no king, yet they go forth, all of them in ranks;
28
the spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
29
There are three things which go well, yea, four which are comely in their goings:
30
a lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
31
a greyhound, a hegoat also, and a king against whom there is no rising up.
