Proverbs 30:24-28

Proverbs 30:24-28

[24] There be four  things which are little  upon the earth,  but they are exceeding  wise:  [25] The ants  are a people  not strong,  yet they prepare  their meat  in the summer;  [26] The conies  are but a feeble  folk,  yet make  they their houses  in the rocks;  [27] The locusts  have no king,  yet go they forth  all of them by bands;  [28] The spider  taketh hold  with her hands,  and is in kings'  palaces. 

What does Proverbs 30:24-28 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

In contrast to the arrogant, here are four examples of humble creatures functioning as God created them to, each remarkably effective and successful. Animals ( Proverbs 30:24-28) are sometimes wiser than humans ( Proverbs 30:21-23). The small are often more effective than the large. The basic contrast, however, is between humility and arrogance.
