30 El león, fuerte entre todos los animales, que no torna atrás por nadie;

31 El [lebrel] ceñido de lomos; asimismo el macho cabrío; y un rey contra el cual ninguno se levanta.

32 Si caiste, [fué] porque te enalteciste; y si mal pensaste, [pon] el dedo sobre la boca.

33 Ciertamente el que exprime la leche, sacará manteca; y el que recio se suena las narices, sacará sangre: y el que provoca la ira, causará contienda.
