For three things the earth is disquieted, and the fourth it cannot bear: For a slave when he reigns; and a fool when he is filled with bread; for a rejected 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 wiser than the wise men: The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer; the conies are but a feeble folk, yet they make their houses in the rocks; the locusts have no king, yet all of them go forth by bands; the spider takes hold with her hands and is in kings' palaces.
