21 “Under three things the earth trembles,
under four it cannot bear up:
22 a servant who becomes king,(A)
a godless fool who gets plenty to eat,

and a servant who displaces her mistress.

it cannot bear up under four:

a fool when he is stuffed with food,
23 an unloved woman when she marries,(B)
and a servant girl when she ousts her queen.
Proverbs 30:21-23

Proverbs 30:29-33
New International Version
29 “There are three things that are stately in their stride,
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.”

Proverbs 30:29-33
Holman Christian Standard Bible
29 Three things are stately in their stride,
even four are stately in their walk:
30 a lion, which is mightiest among beasts
and doesn’t retreat before anything,
31 a strutting rooster,[a] a goat,
and a king at the head of his army.[b]
32 If you have been foolish by exalting yourself
or if you’ve been scheming,
put your hand over your mouth.(A)
33 For the churning of milk produces butter,
and twisting a nose draws blood,
and stirring up anger produces strife.(B)

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.
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
