The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;

Verse 27 is found in chapter 30 of Proverbs. Agur presents four things that disturb the established order: a servant who becomes king, a fool who is satisfied, a despised woman who finds a husband, and a maidservant who takes her mistress’s place. He then contrasts small creatures with extraordinary abilities: ants, rock badgers, locusts, and spiders. The wisdom principle is to observe how apparent smallness does not prevent effectiveness, order, or the ability to act.

Heuschrecken, haben keinen König; dennoch ziehen sie aus ganz in Haufen,
Las langostas, no tienen rey, Y salen todas acuadrilladas;
las langostas, que no tienen rey, pero salen todas en escuadrones;
Les sauterelles n'ont point de roi, Et elles sortent toutes par divisions;
Le locuste, che non hanno re, E pure escono fuori tutte a stormo, divise per ischiere;
Os gafanhotos não têm rei; e contudo todos saem, e em bandos se repartem;
蝗蟲沒有君王, 卻分隊而出。
