American Standard Version
"For a servant when he is king; And a fool when he is filled with food; "
— Proverbs 30:22, American Standard Version
“For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;”
“For a servant when he is king; a fool when he is filled with food;”
“under a servant who becomes king, under a fool who becomes stuffed with food,”
“By a slave when he reigneth: by a fool when be is filled with meat:”
“A servant when he becomes a king; a man without sense when his wealth is increased;”
“For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;”
The way of an eagle in the air; The way of a serpent upon a rock; The way of a ship in the midst of the sea; And the way of a man with a maiden.
So is the way of an adulterous woman; She eateth, and wipeth her mouth, And saith, I have done no wickedness.
For three things the earth doth tremble, And for four, whichit cannot bear:
For a servant when he is king; And a fool when he is filled with food;
For an odious woman when she is married; And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
There are four things which are little upon the earth, But they are exceeding wise:
The ants are a people not strong, Yet they provide their food in the summer;
