Proverbs 30:15-31

15The leech hath twoH8147 daughtersH1323: GiveH3051, giveH3051. There are threeH7969 [thingsH7969] never satisfiedH7646; fourH702 which sayH559 not, It is enough:

16— SheolH7585, and the barren wombH7356; the earthH776 which is not filled with waterH4325, and the fireH784 which saith not, It is enough.

17The eyeH5869 that mocketh at a fatherH1, and despiseth to obey a motherH517, the ravensH6158 of the valley shall pick it out, and the youngH1121 eaglesH5404 shall eatH398 it.

18There are threeH7969 [thingsH7969] too wonderfulH6381 for me, and fourH702 that I knowH3045 not:

19The wayH1870 of an eagleH5404 in the heavensH8064, the wayH1870 of a serpent upon a rockH6697, the wayH1870 of a shipH591 in the midst of the seaH3220, and the wayH1870 of a manH1397 with a maid.

20Such is the wayH1870 of an adulterousH5003 womanH802: she eateth, and wipeth her mouthH6310, and saith, I have done no wickednessH205.

21Under threeH7969 [thingsH7969] the earthH776 is disquieted, and under fourH702 it cannot bearH5375 up:

22Under a servantH5650 when he reigneth, and a churl when he is filled with meat;

23under an odious [woman] when she is marriedH1166, and a handmaid when she is heir to her mistressH1404.

24There are fourH702 [thingsH702] littleH6996 upon the earthH776, and they are exceeding wiseH2450:

25The ants, a peopleH5971 not strongH5794, yet they provide their foodH3899 in the summerH7019;

26the rock-badgers are but a feeble folk, yet they makeH7760 their houseH1004 in the cliffH5553;

27the locustsH697 have no kingH4428, yet they goH3318 forthH3318 all of them by bands;

28thou takest hold of the lizard with the handsH3027, yet is she in kings' palacesH1964.

29There are threeH7969 [thingsH7969] which have a stately step, and fourH702 are comely in going:

30The lionH3918, mightyH1368 among beasts, which turneth not awayH7725 for any;

31a [horse] girt in the loinsH4975; or the he-goat; and a kingH4428, against whom none can rise up.
