22 for a servant when he reigns,and a fool when he is filled with food,
23 for a hateful woman when she is married,and a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.
24 There are four things which are little upon the earth,but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong,yet they prepare their food in the summer;
26 the badgers are but a feeble folk,yet they make their houses in the rocks;
27 the locusts have no king,yet they go forth all of them by bands;
28 the spider takes hold with her hands,and is in kings’ palaces.
