21. "Under three things the earth shakes. Under four things it can't stand up.
22. The first is a servant who becomes a king. The second is a foolish person who is full of food.
23. The third is a woman who is married but not loved by her husband. And the fourth is a woman servant who takes the place of the woman she works for.
24. "Four things on earth are small. But they are very wise.
25. The first are ants. They aren't very strong. But they store up their food in the summer.
26. The second are rock badgers. They aren't very powerful. But they make their home among the rocks.
27. The third are locusts. They don't have a king. But they all march forward in ranks.
