Proverbs 30:21-23

21 Under three things the earth trembles;
under four it cannot bear up:

and a maid when she succeeds her mistress.
Proverbs 30:29-33

29 Three things are stately in their tread;
four are stately in their stride:
30 the lion, which is mightiest among beasts
and does not turn back before any;
31 the strutting cock,[a] the he-goat,
and a king striding before[b] his people.
32 If you have been foolish, exalting yourself,
or if you have been devising evil,
put your hand on your mouth.
33 For pressing milk produces curds,
pressing the nose produces blood,
and pressing anger produces strife.
