Proverbs 30:31

A greyhound The Heb. word, which occurs nowhere else, and means literally, well-girt(or, well-knit) in the loins(R.V. marg.), has been variously rendered, war-horse, cock(ἀλέκτωρ ἐμπεριπατῶν θηλείαις εὔψυχος, LXX.; gallus succinctus lumbos, Vulg.), wrestler, Maurer. The R.V. retains greyhoundin the text, with "or, war-horse," in the margin.

against whomthere is no rising up The rendering of R.V. marg., when his army is with him, accords better perhaps with the ruling idea of the quatrain, being "stately in march;" though the king on his royal progress, before whom all prostrate themselves, in outward token that "there is no rising up against him," satisfies well the conditions.
