ESVEnglish Standard Version

Three things are stately in their tread;

four are stately in their stride:

the lion, which is mightiest among beasts

and does not turn back before any;

the strutting rooster, the he-goat,

and a king whose army is with him.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“There are three things that are stately in their stride,

four that move with stately bearing:

a lion, mighty among beasts,

who retreats before nothing;

a strutting rooster, a he-goat,

and a king secure against revolt.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Three things are stately in their stride;

four are stately in their walk:

a lion, which is mightiest among beasts

and doesn’t retreat before anything;

a strutting rooster; a goat;

and a king at the head of his army.

NLTNew Living Translation

There are three things that walk with stately stride—

no, four that strut about:

the lion, king of animals, who won’t turn aside for anything,

the strutting rooster,

the male goat,

a king as he leads his army.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

There are three things that are magnificent of stride,

and four that are magnificent when moving:

a mighty lion among the beasts,

but he will not turn back from any face;

a strutting rooster or he-goat,

and a king whose army is with him.
