Proverbs 30:28
26 the rock badgers are creatures of little power, yet they make their homes in the rocks;
27 the locusts have no king, yet they all advance in formation;
and the lizard can be caught in one’s hands, yet it is found in the palaces of kings.
29 There are three things that are stately in their stride, and four that are impressive in their walk:
30 a lion, mighty among beasts, refusing to retreat before anything;
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
