Proverbs 30:20-32

²⁰This is the way of a woman who commits adultery: she eats, she wipes her mouth, and then says, “I haven't done anything wrong!”

²¹Three things make the earth tremble, there are four things it can't support:

²²a slave becoming a king, a stupid person eating like a pig,

²³an unbearable woman getting married, and a maidservant taking her mistress's place.

²⁴There are four things on earth that are small, but very wise:

²⁵Ants—they're not strong, but they work hard all summer storing up food.

²⁶Hyraxes—they don't have much power, but they make their homes in the rock.

²⁷Locusts—they don't have a king, but they all march in line abreast.

²⁸Lizards—you can catch them in your hands, but they live in the king's palace.

²⁹There are three things that are glorious to watch as they walk, four that look dignified as they move:

³⁰The lion, supreme among wild animals, who isn't frightened of anything.

³¹The strutting starling, the male goat, and a king with his army.

³²If you have been foolishly boasting about yourself, or if you've been planning to do something wrong, stop and put your hand over your mouth.
