22For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with food.
23For an odious woman when she is married; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are very wise:
25The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer;
26The conies are but a feeble people, yet they make their houses in the rocks;
27The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in king's palaces.
29There are three things which go well, yes, four are comely in going:
30A lion, which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
31A greyhound; a he-goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
