Proverbs 30:24-28

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁴ Four things on earth are small,
    yet they are exceedingly wise:
²⁵ the ants are a people without strength,
    yet they provide their food in the summer;^(A)
26 the badgers are a people without power,
    yet they make their homes in the rocks;^(B)
27 the locusts have no king,
    yet all of them march in rank;
²⁸ the lizard^[a] can be grasped in the hand,
    yet it is found in kings’ palaces.
