ISV(i)
23 an unloved woman when she finds a husband, and a servant girl who inherits from her mistress.
24 Four things on earth are small, but they are very, very wise:
25 Ants aren’t a strong species, yet they prepare their food in the summer.
26 The rock badgers aren’t a strong species either, yet they build their dens in the rocks.
27 Locusts have no king, but they all swarm in ranks.
28 Spiders can be caught by the hand, yet they’re found in kings’ palaces.
29 Three things are stately in procession, four which are stately in their gait:
30 The lion, mighty among the beasts, retreats before nothing.
31 The strutting rooster, as well as the goat, and a king with his army.
32 If you’ve foolishly exalted yourself or if you’ve plotted evil, put your hand over your mouth.
33 Just as whipping milk produces butter, and twisting the nose causes bleeding, so also stirring up anger produces contention.
