And under four, it cannot bear up:

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:

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.
