“For three things the earth trembles, and under four, it can’t bear up: For a servant when he is king, a fool when he is filled with food, for an unloved woman when she is married, and a servant who is heir to her mistress.
“There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are exceedingly wise: The ants are not a strong people, yet they provide their food in the summer.
The hyraxes are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks.
The locusts have no king, yet they advance in ranks.
