yet they make their homes in the rocks;

yet all of them march in rank;
28 the lizard you can take in your hands,
yet it is in kings’ palaces.

Yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king,
Yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 The lizard [a]taketh hold with her hands,
Yet is she in kings’ palaces.
