Proverbs 30:18-31

18There are three [things] too wonderful for me, and four that I know not:

19The way of an eagle in the heavens, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man with a maid.

20Such is the way of an adulterous woman: she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

21Under three [things] the earth is disquieted, and under four it cannot bear up:

22Under a servant when he reigneth, and a churl when he is filled with meat;

23under an odious [woman] when she is married, and a handmaid when she is heir to her mistress.

24There are four [things] little upon the earth, and they are exceeding wise:

25The ants, a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;

26the rock-badgers are but a feeble folk, yet they make their house in the cliff;

27the locusts have no king, yet they go forth all of them by bands;

28thou takest hold of the lizard with the hands, yet is she in kings' palaces.

29There are three [things] which have a stately step, and four are comely in going:

30The lion, mighty among beasts, which turneth not away for any;

31a [horse] girt in the loins; or the he-goat; and a king, against whom none can rise up.
