"Four things are least upon the earth, and they are wiser than the wise: "
— Proverbs 30:24, Catholic Public Domain Version
“There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:”
“ There are four things which are little upon the earth, But they are exceeding wise: ”
“"There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are exceedingly wise:”
“There are four things on earth that are small, but they are exceedingly wise:”
“There are four very little things of the earth, and they are wiser than the wise.”
“There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are very wise:”
“There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:”
By three things, the earth is moved, and a fourth it is not able to sustain:
by a slave when he reigns, by the foolish when he has been filled with food,
by a hateful woman when she has been taken in matrimony, and by a handmaid when she has been heir to her mistress.
Four things are least upon the earth, and they are wiser than the wise:
the ants, an infirm people who provide food for themselves at the harvest,
the rabbit, a sickened people who make their bed upon the rock.
The locust has no king, but they all depart by their troops.
