21 For three things the earth is perturbed,Yes, for four it cannot bear up:
22 For a servant when he reigns,A fool when he is filled with food,
23 A hateful woman when she is married,And a maidservant who succeeds her mistress.
24 There are four things which are little on the earth,But they are exceedingly wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong,Yet they prepare their food in the summer;
26 The rock badgers are a feeble folk,Yet they make their homes in the crags;
27 The locusts have no king,Yet they all advance in ranks;
