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.
33Just as churning milk produces butter, and twisting someone's nose makes it bleed, so stirring up anger causes arguments.
