Proverbs

²²For a servant when he is king; And a fool when he is filled with food; ²³For an odious woman when she is married; And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress. ²⁴There are four things which are little upon the earth, But they are exceeding wise: ²⁵The ants are a people not strong, Yet they provide their food in the summer; ²⁶The conies are but a feeble folk, Yet make they their houses in the rocks; ²⁷The locusts have no king, Yet go they forth all of them by bands; ²⁸The lizard taketh hold with her hands, Yet is she in kings’ palaces.
