Four Dignitaries
29–31There are three solemn dignitaries,
four that are impressive in their bearing—
a lion, king of the beasts, deferring to none;
a rooster, proud and strutting;
a billy goat;
a head of state in stately procession.

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.

“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.

There are three things that walk with stately stride—

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.

KJV 1900King James Version
There be three things which go well,
Yea, four are comely in going:
A lion which is strongest among beasts,
And turneth not away for any;
A greyhound; an he goat also;
And a king, against whom there is no rising up.
