Verses 29-31

Proverbs 30:29-31. There be three things which go well That walk decently, and with great alacrity and courage, or whose motion is majestic; A lion, which turneth not away for any Doth not flee from his pursuers, whether men or beasts, but walks away with a slow and majestic pace, as is observed by Aristotle, and many others; A greyhound Called in the Hebrew זרזיר מתנים , girt in the loins, either because its loins are slender, and, as it were, girt up into a little compass, or because of its great agility and swiftness; for the girding of the loins was used for expedition, in going or working. The word is rendered by some, a horse, namely, a war- horse, having his armour girt about him, and marching to battle, which he does with great majesty and courage, as God himself observes at large, Job 39:19, &c. A he-goat also Which marches at the head of the flock in a grave and stately manner, conducting them with great courage and resolution, and being ready to fight for them, either with beasts or men that oppose him. And a king Hebrew, a king and his people with him, a king when he hath the hearts and hands of his people going along with him in his undertakings.
