21 Under three things the earth quakes,
And under four, it cannot bear up:
22 Under a (A)slave when he becomes king,
And a wicked fool when he is satisfied with food,
23 Under [a]an unloved woman when she gets a husband,
And a servant-girl when she supplants her mistress.

29 There are three things which are stately in their march,
Even four which are stately when they walk:
30 The lion which is (A)mighty among the animals
And does not (B)turn back before any,
31 The [a]strutting rooster, the male goat also,
And a king when his army is with him.
32 If you have been wickedly foolish in lifting yourself up,
Or if you have schemed evil, (C)put your hand on your mouth.
33 For pressing milk brings forth butter,
And pressing the nose brings forth blood;
And pressing (D)anger brings forth strife.

29 Three things are stately in their tread;
four are stately in their stride:
30 the lion, which is mightiest among beasts
and does not turn back before any;
31 the strutting cock,[a] the he-goat,
and a king striding before[b] his people.
32 If you have been foolish, exalting yourself,
or if you have been devising evil,
put your hand on your mouth.
33 For pressing milk produces curds,
pressing the nose produces blood,
and pressing anger produces strife.

four that move with stately bearing:
30 a lion, mighty among beasts,
who retreats before nothing;
31 a strutting rooster, a he-goat,
and a king secure against revolt.[a]
32 “If you play the fool and exalt yourself,
or if you plan evil,
clap your hand over your mouth!(A)
33 For as churning cream produces butter,
and as twisting the nose produces blood,
so stirring up anger produces strife.”
