Proverbs 30:21-23
Christian Standard Bible
21 The earth trembles under three things;
it cannot bear up under four:
22 a servant when he becomes king,(A)
a fool when he is stuffed with food,
23 an unloved woman when she marries,(B)
and a servant girl when she ousts her queen.
Proverbs 30:21-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
21 Under three things the earth trembles;
under four it cannot bear up:
22 a slave when he becomes king
and a fool when glutted with food,(A)
23 a contemptible woman when she gets a husband
and a maid when she supplants her mistress.
Proverbs 30:29-33
Christian Standard Bible
29 Three things are stately in their stride;
four are stately in their walk:
30 a lion, which is mightiest among beasts
and doesn’t retreat before anything;
31 a strutting rooster;[a] a goat;
and a king at the head of his army.[b]
32 If you have been foolish by exalting yourself
or if you’ve been scheming,
put your hand over your mouth.(A)
33 For the churning of milk produces butter,
and twisting a nose draws blood,
and stirring up anger produces strife.(B)
Proverbs 30:29-33
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
29 Three things are stately in their stride;
four are stately in their gait:
30 the lion, which is mightiest among wild animals
and does not turn back before any;(A)
31 the strutting rooster,[a] the he-goat,
and a king against whom none can stand.
32 If you have been foolish, exalting yourself,
or if you have been devising evil,
put your hand on your mouth.(B)
33 For as pressing milk produces curds
and pressing the nose produces blood,
so pressing anger produces strife.(C)
