Proverbs 30:21-23

21 Under three things the earth quakes,
And under four, it cannot endure:
22 Under a (A)slave when he becomes king,
And a fool when he is satisfied with food,
23 Under an unloved woman when she gets a husband,
And a female servant when she dispossesses her mistress.
Proverbs 30:29-33
New American Standard Bible
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 animals
And does not [a](B)retreat from anything,
31 The [b]strutting rooster or the male goat,
And a king when his army is with him.
32 If you have been foolish in exalting yourself,
Or if you have plotted evil, (C)put your hand on your mouth.
33 For the [c]churning of milk produces butter,
And pressing the nose produces blood;
So the [d]churning of (D)anger produces strife.
