Proverbs 30:22-33

²²by a servant, when he reigneth; by a fool, when he is filled with meat;

²³by an hateful woman, when she is taken in matrimony; and by an handmaid, when she is heir of her lady.

²⁴Four things be the least things of the earth, and those be wiser than wise men;

²⁵ants, a feeble people, that make ready meat in harvest to themselves;

²⁶a hare, a people unmighty, that setteth his bed in a stone;

²⁷a locust hath no king, and all goeth out by companies;

²⁸a lizard enforceth or endeavoureth with hands, and dwelleth in the houses of kings.

²⁹Three things there be, that go well, and the fourth thing, that goeth richly, either by prosperity.

³⁰A lion, strongest of beasts, shall not dread, at the meeting of any man;

³¹a cock, girded up the loins; and a ram, and a king, and none there is that shall against-stand him.

³²He that appeareth a fool, after that he is raised up on high; for if he had understood, he had set his hand on his mouth.

³³Forsooth he that thrusteth strongly teats, to draw out milk, thrusteth out butter; and he that smiteth greatly, draweth out blood; and he that stirreth ires, bringeth forth discords.
