2 Surely I am only a brute, not a man;
I do not have human understanding.
3 I have not learned wisdom,
nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One.(A)
4 Who has gone up(B) to heaven and come down?
Whose hands(C) have gathered up the wind?
Who has wrapped up the waters(D) in a cloak?(E)
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name,(F) and what is the name of his son?
Surely you know!

Proverbs 30:21-23
New International Version
Proverbs 30:21-23
New International Version
21 “Under three things the earth trembles,
under four it cannot bear up:
22 a servant who becomes king,(A)
a godless fool who gets plenty to eat,
23 a contemptible woman who gets married,
and a servant who displaces her mistress.
Proverbs 30:21-23
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Proverbs 30:21-23
Holman 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
New International Version
Proverbs 30:29-33
New International Version
29 “There are three things that are stately in their stride,
four that move with stately bearing:
30 a lion, mighty among beasts,
who retreats before nothing;
31 a strutting rooster, a he-goat,
and a king secure against revolt.[a]
32 “If you play the fool and exalt yourself,
or if you plan evil,
clap your hand over your mouth!(A)
33 For as churning cream produces butter,
and as twisting the nose produces blood,
so stirring up anger produces strife.”

Proverbs 30:29-33
Holman Christian Standard Bible
29 Three things are stately in their stride,
even 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)
