Proverbs 30:29-31-32-33 The Message (MSG)

3-4. “I flunked ‘wisdom.’I see no evidence of a holy God.Has anyone ever seen Anyoneclimb into Heaven and take charge?grab the winds and control them?gather the rains in his bucket?stake out the ends of the earth?Just tell me his name, tell me the names of his sons.Come on now—tell me!”

29-31. There are three solemn dignitaries,four that are impressive in their bearing—a lion, king of the beasts, deferring to none;a rooster, proud and strutting;a billy goat;a head of state in stately procession.

32-33. If you’re dumb enough to call attention to yourselfby offending people and making rude gestures,Don’t be surprised if someone bloodies your nose.Churned milk turns into butter;riled emotions turn into fist fights.
