26. hyraxes are not a mighty people,yet they make their homes in the cliffs;
27. locusts have no king,yet all of them march in ranks;
28. a lizard can be caught in your hands,yet it lives in kings’ palaces.
29. Three things are stately in their stride,even four are stately in their walk:
30. a lion, which is mightiest among beastsand doesn’t retreat before anything,
31. a strutting rooster, a goat,and a king at the head of his army.
32. If you have been foolish by exalting yourselfor if you’ve been scheming,put your hand over your mouth.
33. For the churning of milk produces butter,and twisting a nose draws blood,and stirring up anger produces strife.
