There are four animals in the world that are small,
but very, very clever:
Ant: they are weak,
but they store up their food in the summer.
Rock badgers: they are not strong either,
but they make their homes among the rocks.
Locusts: they have no king,
but they move in formation.
Lizards: you can hold one in your hand,
but you can find them in palaces.
There are four things
that are impressive to watch as they walk:
lions, strongest of all animals and afraid of none;
goats, strutting roosters,
and kings in front of their people.
Proverbs 30 : 24 - 31
