Proverbs 30:23-33

²³a hated woman when she marries; and a maid when she takes the place of her mistress.

²⁴Four things on earth are small and yet they are very wise:

²⁵the ants are creatures that are not strong, but they prepare their food in the summer;

²⁶the rock badgers are not mighty creatures, but they make their homes in the rocks.

²⁷Locusts have no king, but all of them march in rank.

²⁸As for the lizard, you can hold it in your two hands, yet they are found in kings' palaces.

²⁹There are three things that are stately in their stride and four that are stately in how they walk:

³⁰a lion, strongest among wild animals— it does not turn away from anything;

³¹a strutting rooster; a goat; and a king whose soldiers are beside him.

³²If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil— put your hand over your mouth.

³³As churning milk makes butter and as one's nose will produce blood if it is twisted, so deeds done in anger produce conflict.
