- Four things are small on the earth, But they are exceedingly wise:
- The ants are not a strong people, But they prepare their food in the summer;
- The shephanim are not mighty people, Yet they make their houses in the rocks;
- The locusts have no king, Yet all of them go out in ranks;
- The lizard you may grasp with the hands, Yet it is in kings' palaces.
|
- There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
- The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
- The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
- The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
- The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
|
- There are three things which are stately in their march, Even four which are stately when they walk:
- The lion which is mighty among beasts And does not retreat before any,
- The strutting rooster, the male goat also, And a king when his army is with him.
- If you have been foolish in exalting yourself Or if you have plotted evil, put your hand on your mouth.
- For the churning of milk produces butter, And pressing the nose brings forth blood; So the churning of anger produces strife.
|
- There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
- A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
- A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
- If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
- Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
