26The shephanim are not mighty people,
         Yet they make their houses in the rocks;

27The locusts have no king,
         Yet all of them go out in ranks;

28The lizard you may grasp with the hands,
         Yet it is in kings’ palaces.

29There are three things which are stately in their march,
         Even four which are stately when they walk:

30The lion which is mighty among beasts
         And does not retreat before any,

31The strutting rooster, the male goat also,
         And a king when his army is with him.

32If you have been foolish in exalting yourself
         Or if you have plotted evil, put your hand on your mouth.

33For the churning of milk produces butter,
         And pressing the nose brings forth blood;
         So the churning of anger produces strife.
