24 Four things are small on the earth,
But they are exceedingly wise:
25 The (A)ants are not a strong people,
But they prepare their food in the summer;

Yet they make their houses in the cliff;
27 The locusts have no king,
Yet all of them go out in (C)rank;
28 The lizard you may grasp with the hands,
Yet it is in kings’ palaces.
