Proverbs 30:24-28
Contemporary English Version
24 On this earth four things
are small but very wise:
25 Ants, who seem to be feeble,
but store up food
all summer long;
26 badgers, who seem to be weak,
but live among the rocks;
27 locusts, who have no king,
but march like an army;
28 lizards,[a] which can be caught
in your hand,
but sneak into 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.
