21 Under three things the earth trembles,and under four things it cannot bear up:
22 under a servant who becomes king,under a fool who is stuffed with food,
23 under an unloved woman who is married,and under a female servant who dispossesses her mistress.
24 There are four things on earth that are small,but they are exceedingly wise:
25 ants are creatures with little strength,but they prepare their food in the summer;
26 rock badgers are creatures with little power,but they make their homes in the crags;
27 locusts have no king,but they all go forward by ranks;
