Proverbs 30:21-33

Tree of Life Version

²¹ Under three things the earth trembles,
and under four it cannot bear up:
²² under a slave when he becomes a king,
a fool when he is stuffed with food,
²³     an unloved woman when she is married,
and a handmaid when she displaces her mistress.

²⁹ Three things are stately in their stride,
four that move with stately bearing:
³⁰ a lion, mighty among beasts,
who never backs down from anything;
³¹ a strutting rooster, a male-goat,
and a king with his army around him.

³² If you have acted foolishly, exalting yourself,
or if you have planned evil,
put your hand over your mouth.
³³ For as churning milk produces butter,
and twisting the nose produces blood,
so stirring up anger produces strife.
