Pr 30:22 For a servant when he is king; And a fool when he is filled with food;
Pr 30:23 For an odious woman when she is married; And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

Pr 30:30 The lion, which is mightiest among beasts, And turneth not away for any;
Pr 30:31 The greyhound; the he-goat also; And the king against whom there is no rising up.
Pr 30:33 For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood; So the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
