Proverbs 30:21-23
Amplified Bible
21
Under three things the earth is disquieted and quakes,
And under four it cannot bear up:
22
Under a servant when he reigns,
Under a [spiritually blind] fool when he is filled with food,
23
Under an unloved woman when she gets married,
And under a maidservant when she supplants her mistress.
Proverbs 30:21-23
New American Standard Bible
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
Amplified Bible
29
There are three things which are stately in step,
Even four which are stately in their stride:
30
The lion, which is mighty among beasts
And does not turn back before any;
31
The [a]strutting rooster, the male goat also,
And the king when his army is with him.
32
If you have foolishly exalted yourself,
Or if you have plotted evil, put your hand on your mouth.(A)
33
Surely the churning of milk produces butter,
And wringing the nose produces blood;
So the churning of anger produces strife.
