Proverbs 30:15-31

15The leech has two daughters: “Give, Give!” Three things are never satisfied; four never say, “Enough!”:

16Sheol; a childless womb; earth, which is never satisfied with water; and fire, which never says, “Enough!”

17As for the eye that ridicules a father and despises obedience to a mother, may ravens of the valley pluck it out and young vultures eat it.

18Three things are too wondrous for me; four I can’t understand:

19the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship at sea, and the way of a man with a young woman.

20This is the way of an adulteress: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, “I’ve done nothing wrong.”

21The earth trembles under three things; it cannot bear up under four:

22a servant when he becomes king, a fool when he is stuffed with food,

23an unloved woman when she marries, and a servant girl when she ousts her queen.

24Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise:

25ants are not a strong people, yet they store up their food in the summer;

26hyraxes are not a mighty people, yet they make their homes in the cliffs;

27locusts have no king, yet all of them march in ranks;

28a lizard can be caught in your hands, yet it lives in kings’ palaces.

29Three things are stately in their stride; four are stately in their walk:

30a lion, which is mightiest among beasts and doesn’t retreat before anything;

31a strutting rooster; a goat; and a king at the head of his army.
