Proverbs 30:21-33 ▼

21 Thorow thre thinges the earth is disquieted, & the fourth maye it not beare:

22 Thorow a seruaut yt beareth rule, thorow a foole yt hath greate riches,

23 thorow an ydle houswife, & thorow an handmayden yt is heyre to hir mastres.

24 There be foure thinges in the earth, the which are very litle: but in wysdome they exceade the wyse.

25 The Emmettes are but a weake people, yet gather they their meate together in ye haruest.

26 The conyes are but a feble folke, yet make they their couches amonge the rockes.

27 The greshoppers haue not a gyde, yet go they forth together by heapes.

28 The spyder laboureth wt hir hades, & yt in ye kynges palace.

29 There be thre thinges yt go stiffly, but the goinge of the fourth is the goodliest of all.

30 A Lyon which is kynge of beastes, & geueth place to no man:

31 A cock ready to fight: A rame: And a kynge yt goeth forth wt his people.

32 Yf thou be so foolish to magnifie yi self, or medlest wt eny soch thinge, the laye thine hade vpon yi mouth.

33 Who so chyrneth mylck, maketh butter: he that rubbeth his nose, maketh it blede, and he that causeth wrath, bryngeth forth strife.
