Proverbs 30:21-28

English Standard Version Anglicised

²¹ Under ^(A)three things ^(B)the earth trembles;
    under ^(C)four it cannot bear up:
^22 (D)a slave when he becomes king,
    and a fool when he is ^(E)filled with food;
^23 (F)an unloved woman when she ^(G)gets a husband,
    and a maidservant when she displaces her mistress.
^24 (H)Four things on earth are small,
    but they are exceedingly wise:
^25 (I)the ants are a people not strong,
    yet they provide their food in the summer;
^26 (J)the rock badgers are a people not mighty,
    yet they make their homes in the cliffs;
²⁷ the locusts have no ^(K)king,
    yet all of them march in ^(L)rank;
²⁸ the lizard you can take in your hands,
    yet it is in kings' palaces.
