and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

yea, four are comely in going:

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.
Proverbs 31:30
Authorized (King James) Version
