29 There are three things which are stately in their march,
Even four which are stately when they walk:
30 The lion, which is (A)mighty among animals
And does not [a](B)retreat from anything,
31 The [b]strutting rooster or the male goat,
And a king when his army is with him.

29 Three things are stately in their tread;

    and does not turn back before any;
31 the strutting cock,[a] the he-goat,
    and a king striding before[b] his people.
