Christian Standard Bible
2 I am more stupid than any other person,[a]
and I lack a human’s ability to understand.(A)
3 I have not gained wisdom,
and I have no knowledge of the Holy One.(B)
4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down?(C)
Who has gathered the wind in his hands?
Who has bound up the waters in a cloak?(D)
Who has established all the ends of the earth?(E)
What is his name,
and what is the name of his son—
if you know?(F)

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
New American Standard Bible
21 Under three things the earth quakes,
And under four, it cannot endure:
22 Under a (A)slave when he becomes king,
And a fool when he is satisfied with food,
23 Under an unloved woman when she gets a husband,
And a female servant when she dispossesses 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
New American Standard Bible
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.
32 If you have been foolish in exalting yourself,
Or if you have plotted evil, (C)put your hand on your mouth.
33 For the [c]churning of milk produces butter,
And pressing the nose produces blood;
So the [d]churning of (D)anger produces strife.

But a woman who [a](A)fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
