Proverbs 30:24-28
English Standard Version
24 (A)Four things on earth are small,
but they are exceedingly wise:
25 (B)the ants are a people not strong,
yet they provide their food in the summer;
26 (C)the rock badgers are a people not mighty,
yet they make their homes in the cliffs;
27 the locusts have no (D)king,
yet all of them march in (E)rank;
28 the lizard you can take in your hands,
yet it is in kings' palaces.
Proverbs 30:24-28
New International Version
24 “Four things on earth are small,
yet they are extremely wise:
25 Ants are creatures of little strength,
yet they store up their food in the summer;(A)
26 hyraxes(B) are creatures of little power,
yet they make their home in the crags;
27 locusts(C) 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.
