Context of Proverbs 30:20

18There are three things that are too difficult for me to understand, even four things: 19How an eagle flies high in the sky. How a snake moves across a rock. How a ship sails on the sea. How a man starts to love a young woman. A woman who is not faithful to her husband does this: When she has sex with another man, she thinks it is like a meal that she has eaten. Then she washes herself and she says, ‘I have not done anything wrong.’ That is something else that I cannot understand. 21There are three things that make the earth shake, even four things: 22A slave who becomes a king. A fool who eats too much.
