30 a lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing;
30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
30 the lion, which is mightiest among beasts and does not turn back before any;
30 a lion, king of the beasts, deferring to none;
30 A lion, which is mighty among beasts And does not turn away from any;
30 the lion, king of animals, who won't turn aside for anything,
31 A greyhound;
31 the strutting rooster,
31 a rooster, proud and strutting; a billy goat; a head of state in stately procession.
31 A greyhound, A male goat also, And a king whose troops are with him.
31 the strutting rooster, the male goat, a king as he leads his army.
(Read Proverbs 30:29-33)
We may learn from animals to go well; also to keep our temper under all provocations. We must keep the evil thought in our minds from breaking out into evil speeches. We must not stir up the passions of others. Let nothing be said or done with violence, but every thing with softness and calmness. Alas, how often have we done foolishly in rising up against the Lord our King! Let us humble ourselves before him. And having found peace with Him, let us follow peace with all men.
