Proverbs 30:18-31

18Three things are too wonderful for me; four I do not understand:

19the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a virgin.

20This is the way of an adulteress: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, "I have done no wrong."

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

22a slave when he becomes king, and a fool when he is filled with food;

23an unloved woman when she gets a husband, and a maidservant when she displaces her mistress.

24Four things on earth are small, but they are exceedingly wise:

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

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

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

28the lizard you can take in your hands, yet it is in kings' palaces.

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

30the lion, which is mightiest among beasts and does not turn back before any;

31the strutting rooster, the he-goat, and a king whose army is with him.
