What Does Proverbs 30:28 Mean?
The spider is small and soft, yet her grip—her ability to hold—is tenacious. With her hands (legs), she builds and climbs, making homes anywhere, even in the most prestigious places.
Her wisdom is in persistence and the power of her own effort. She does not need permission or the king's favor; through her own capability, she inhabits the grandest buildings.
