 25 Ants are creatures of little strength,        yet they store up their food in the summer;
 26 coneys are creatures of little power,        yet they make their home in the crags;
 27 locusts have no king,        yet they advance together in ranks;
 28 a lizard can be caught with the hand,        yet it is found in kings' palaces.
