Proverbs 30:28
The spider taketh hold with her hands, And is in kings' palaces.
In context
25 The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare their meat in the summer; 26 The conies are but a feeble folk, Yet make they their houses in the rocks; 27 The locusts have no king, Yet go they forth all of them by bands; 28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, And is in kings' palaces.
29 There be three things which go well, Yea, four are comely in going: 30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, And turneth not away for any; 31 An greyhound; an he goat also; And a king, against whom there is no rising up.
