26 hyraxes are creatures of little power,yet they make their home in the crags;
27 locusts have no king,yet they advance together in ranks;
28 a lizard can be caught with the hand,yet it is found in kings’ palaces.
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 cock, a he-goat,and a king secure against revolt.
32 ‘If you play the fool and exalt yourself,or if you plan evil,clap your hand over your mouth!
