24 There be four things which are little upon the earth,
but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong,
yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26 The conies are but a feeble folk,
yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king,
yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 The spider taketh hold with her hands,
and is in kings 'palaces.
29 There be three things which go well,
yea, four are comely in going:
30 A lion which is strongest among beasts,
and turneth not away for any;
31 A greyhound; an he goat also;
and a king, against whom there is no rising up. |
