Proverbs 30:15-23

15The bloodsucking leech has two daughters—“Give!” and “Give!” Three things are never satisfied. Four never say, “Enough!”:

16the grave, a barren womb, a land that never gets enough water, a fire that does not say, “Enough!”

17The eye that makes fun of a father and hates to obey a mother will be plucked out by ravens in the valley and eaten by young vultures.

18Three things are too amazing to me, even four that I cannot understand:

19an eagle making its way through the sky, a snake making its way over a rock, a ship making its way through high seas, a man making his way with a virgin.

20This is the way of a woman who commits adultery: She eats, wipes her mouth, and says, “I haven’t done anything wrong!”

21Three things cause the earth to tremble, even four it cannot bear up under:

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

23a woman who is unloved when she gets married, a maid when she replaces her mistress.
