Proverbs 30:21 - Proverbs 30:31

21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear;

22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;

23 For an odious woman when she is married; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise;

25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;

26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;

27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;

28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going;

30 A lion, which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away from any;

31 A greyhound; a he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
