24. There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are very wise:
25. The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer;
26. The conies are but a feeble people, yet they make 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 king's palaces.
29. There are three things which go well, yes, four are comely in going:
30. A lion, which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
31. A greyhound; a he-goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32. If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
33. Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
