Proverbs 30:29–31

PROVERBS CHAPTER 30

The Maxims of Agur, the Son of Jakeh.

DEDUCING TRUTHS FROM COMMON EXPERIENCE. — V. 29. There be three things which go well, creatures that move with a stately bearing, yea, four are comely in going, showing dignity and power in every stride: v. 30. a lion, which is strongest among beasts, commonly acknowledged as the king of wild beasts, and turneth not away for any, being a stranger to fear; v. 31. a greyhound, slender in his loins and possessed of great and graceful speed; an he-goat also, known for strength and courage; and a king against whom there is no rising up, who exercises the authority of calling his men to battle and with becoming dignity marches at their head.
