Proverbs 30:18-31
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.
