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

Proverbs 30:24-28 in Context (Verses 21–31 KJV)
21
For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
22
For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
23
For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
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.
29
There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
30
A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
31
A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.*
