29 And there are three things which go well, and a fourth which passes along finely.

30 A lion's whelp, stronger than all other beasts, which turns not away, nor fears any beast;

31 and a cock walking in boldly among the hens, and the goat leading the herd; and a king publicly speaking before a nation.

32 If thou abandon thyself to mirth, and stretch forth thine hand in a quarrel, thou shalt be disgraced.

33 Milk out milk, and there shall be butter, and if thou wing one's nostrils there shall come out blood: so if thou extort words, there will come forth quarrels and strifes.
