but they are exceeding wise:

yet they prepare their food in the summer;
26 the badgers are but a feeble folk,
yet they make their houses in the rocks;
27 the locusts have no king,
yet they go forth all of them by bands;
28 the spider takes hold with her hands,
and is in kings’ palaces.

Yet they make their homes in the crags;
27 The locusts have no king,
Yet they all advance in ranks;
28 The [b]spider skillfully grasps with its hands,
And it is in kings’ palaces.
