Proverbs 30:21-23

21 At three things the earth trembles,

and a female servant when she replaces her mistress.

four that are excellent as they walk:

31 the strut of a rooster or a male goat;
and a king with his army.
32 If you’ve been foolish and arrogant,
if you’ve been scheming,
put your hand to your mouth,
33 because churning milk makes curds,
squeezing the nose brings blood,
and stirring up anger produces strife.
Proverbs 31:30

but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
