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.
Proverbs 30:24-28
King James Version
24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.

New King James Version
24 There are four things which are little on the earth,
But they are exceedingly wise:
25 (A)The ants are a people not strong,
Yet they prepare their food in the summer;
26 (B)The [a]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;
28 The [b]spider skillfully grasps with its hands,
And it is in kings’ palaces.
