Proverbs 30:24-33 ▼

24 Four things on earth are small, yet they are very wise:

25 Ants are not a strong species, yet they store their food in summer.

26 Rock badgers are not a mighty species, yet they make their home in the rocks.

27 Locusts have no king, yet all of them divide into swarms by instinct.

28 A lizard you can hold in your hands, yet it can even be found in royal palaces.

29 There are three things that walk with dignity, even four that march with dignity:

30 a lion, mightiest among animals, which turns away from nothing,

31 a strutting rooster, a male goat, a king at the head of his army.

32 If you are such a godless fool as to honor yourself, or if you scheme, you had better put your hand over your mouth.

33 As churning milk produces butter and punching a nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces a fight.
