Proverbs 30:21-23
Christian Standard Bible
21 The earth trembles under three things;
it cannot bear up under four:
22 a servant when he becomes king,(A)
a fool when he is stuffed with food,
23 an unloved woman when she marries,(B)
and a servant girl when she ousts her queen.
Proverbs 30:21-23
International Standard Version
21 Under three things the earth trembles,
under four it cannot remain steady:
22 Under a slave when he becomes a king,
a fool when he is overfed,
23 an unloved woman when she finds a husband,
and a servant girl who inherits from her mistress.
Proverbs 30:29-33
Christian Standard Bible
29 Three things are stately in their stride;
four are stately in their walk:
30 a lion, which is mightiest among beasts
and doesn’t retreat before anything;
31 a strutting rooster;[a] a goat;
and a king at the head of his army.[b]
32 If you have been foolish by exalting yourself
or if you’ve been scheming,
put your hand over your mouth.(A)
33 For the churning of milk produces butter,
and twisting a nose draws blood,
and stirring up anger produces strife.(B)
Proverbs 30:29-33
International Standard Version
29 Three things are stately in procession,
four which are stately in their gait:
30 The lion, mighty among the beasts,
retreats before nothing.
31 The strutting rooster, as well as the goat,
and a king with his army.
32 If you’ve foolishly exalted yourself
or if you’ve plotted evil,
put your hand over your mouth.
33 Just as whipping milk produces butter,
and twisting the nose causes bleeding,
so also stirring up anger produces contention.
Proverbs 31:30
Christian Standard Bible
30 Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting,(A)
but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
Proverbs 31:30
International Standard Version
30 Charm is deceitful and beauty fades;
but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
