29 “There are three things that are stately in their stride,
    four that move with stately bearing:
30 a lion, mighty among beasts,
    who retreats before nothing;
31 a strutting rooster, a he-goat,
    and a king secure against revolt.[a]

29 There are three things which are stately in their march,

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.
