English Standard Version
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 30:29-33
English Standard Version
29 (A)Three things are stately in their tread;
(B)four are stately in their stride:
30 the lion, which is mightiest among beasts
and (C)does not turn back before any;
31 the (D)strutting rooster,[a] the he-goat,
and a king whose army is with him.[b]
32 If you have been foolish, exalting yourself,
or if you have been devising evil,
(E)put your hand on your mouth.
33 For pressing milk produces curds,
pressing the nose produces blood,
and pressing anger produces strife.

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)
