Proverbs 30:21-33 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

21. For three things hath earth been troubled, And for four--it is not able to bear:

22. For a servant when he reigneth, And a fool when he is satisfied with bread,

23. For a hated one when she ruleth, And a maid-servant when she succeedeth her mistress.

24. Four [are] little ones of earth, And they are made wiser than the wise:

25. The ants [are] a people not strong, And they prepare in summer their food,

26. Conies [are] a people not strong, And they place in a rock their house,

27. A king there is not to the locust, And it goeth out--each one shouting,

28. A spider with two hands taketh hold, And is in the palaces of a king.

29. Three there are going well, Yea, four are good in going:

30. An old lion--mighty among beasts, That turneth not back from the face of any,

31. A girt one of the loins, or a he-goat, And a king--no rising up with him.

32. If thou hast been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if thou hast devised evil--hand to mouth!

33. For the churning of milk bringeth out butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth out blood, And the forcing of anger bringeth out strife!
