In context
25 The ants, a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;
26 the rock-badgers are but a feeble folk, yet they make their house in the cliff;
27 the locusts have no king, yet they go forth all of them by bands;
28 thou takest hold of the lizard with the hands, yet is she in kings' palaces.
29 There are three [things] which have a stately step, and four are comely in going:
30 The lion, mighty among beasts, which turneth not away for any;
31 a [horse] girt in the loins; or the he-goat; and a king, against whom none can rise up.
