Three Other Things
29
There are three things that walk with stately stride—
no, four that strut about:
30
the lion, king of animals, who won’t turn aside for anything,
31
the strutting rooster,
the male goat,
a king as he leads his army.
This proverb puzzled me too. Usually, when it says "there are three things… four which are stately," you expect four things to be listed, but there are only three mentioned in a lot of the major translations. It turns out that the original Hebrew text is unclear. The New Living Translation, which I use here, adds "a rooster when it struts,” back into the removed text.. which fits the context of things that appear stately.
The editors of those other translations left out the rooster, but the overall message is still clear: kings, dictators, and other leaders can create impressive displays of pageantry, even though the proverb doesn’t say this is good—just that power allows them to do so.
Note: My cat might ask, "Lions? What about me?"
Let me ask you: Does your sense of self-worth depend on putting on a façade to impress others, like those in power often do to maintain their image?
