Proverbs 30:23-33
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 30

23Under an unloved woman when she gets a husband, And a female servant when she dispossesses her mistress. 24Four things are small on the earth, But they are exceedingly wise: 25The ants are not a strong people, But they prepare their food in the summer; 26The rock hyraxes are not a mighty people, Yet they make their houses in the rocks; 27The locusts have no king, Yet all of them go out in ranks; 28The lizard you may grasp with the hands, Yet it is in kings’ palaces. 29There are three things which are stately in their march, Even four which are stately when they walk: 30The lion, which is mighty among animals And does not retreat from anything, 31The strutting rooster or the male goat, And a king when his army is with him. 32If you have been foolish in exalting yourself, Or if you have plotted evil, put your hand on your mouth. 33For the churning of milk produces butter, And pressing the nose produces blood; So the churning of anger produces strife.
King James Version

Chapter 30

23For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat 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 spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
29There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
30A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
31A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
33Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 30

23an unloved woman when she marries, and a servant girl when she ousts her queen. 24Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise: 25ants are not a strong people, yet they store up their food in the summer; 26hyraxes are not a mighty people, yet they make their homes in the cliffs; 27locusts have no king, yet all of them march in ranks;
28a lizard can be caught in your hands, yet it lives in kings’ palaces. 29Three things are stately in their stride; four are stately in their walk: 30a lion, which is mightiest among beasts and doesn’t retreat before anything;
31a strutting rooster; a goat; and a king at the head of his army. 32If you have been foolish by exalting yourself or if you’ve been scheming, put your hand over your mouth. 33For the churning of milk produces butter, and twisting a nose draws blood, and stirring up anger produces strife.
New Living Translation

Chapter 30

23a bitter woman who finally gets a husband, a servant girl who supplants her mistress.
24There are four things on earth that are small but unusually wise: 25Ants — they aren’t strong, but they store up food all summer. 26Hyraxes — they aren’t powerful, but they make their homes among the rocks. 27Locusts — they have no king, but they march in formation. 28Lizards — they are easy to catch, but they are found even in kings’ palaces.
29There are three things that walk with stately stride — no, four that strut about: 30the lion, king of animals, who won’t turn aside for anything, 31the strutting rooster, the male goat, a king as he leads his army.
32If you have been a fool by being proud or plotting evil, cover your mouth in shame.
33As the beating of cream yields butter and striking the nose causes bleeding, so stirring up anger causes quarrels.
English Standard Version

Chapter 30

23 an unloved woman when she gets a husband, and a maidservant when she displaces her mistress. 24 Four things on earth are small, but they are exceedingly wise: 25 the ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer; 26 the rock badgers are a people not mighty, yet they make their homes in the cliffs; 27the locusts have no king, yet all of them march in rank; 28the lizard you can take in your hands, yet it is in kings ' palaces. 29 Three things are stately in their tread; four are stately in their stride: 30the lion, which is mightiest among beasts and does not turn back before any; 31the strutting rooster, the he-goat, and a king whose army is with him. 32If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil, put your hand on your mouth. 33For pressing milk produces curds, pressing the nose produces blood, and pressing anger produces strife.
New International Version

Chapter 30

23a contemptible woman who gets married, and a servant who displaces her mistress. 24"Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise: 25Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer; 26hyraxes are creatures of little power, yet they make their home in the crags; 27locusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranks;
28a 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: 30a lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing;
31a strutting rooster, 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! 33For as churning cream produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife."
New King James Version

Chapter 30

23A hateful woman when she is married, And a maidservant who succeeds her mistress. 24There 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; 27The locusts have no king, Yet they all advance in ranks; 28The spider skillfully grasps with its hands, And it is in kings’ palaces. 29There are three things which are majestic in pace, Yes, four which are stately in walk: 30A lion, which is mighty among beasts And does not turn away from any; 31A greyhound, A male goat also, And a king whose troops are with him. 32If you have been foolish in exalting yourself, Or if you have devised evil, put your hand on your mouth. 33For as the churning of milk produces butter, And wringing the nose produces blood, So the forcing of wrath produces strife.
