Proverbs 30:15-23

15The leech has two daughters, “Give,” “Give.” There are three things that will not be satisfied, Four that will not say, “Enough”:1612Sheol, and the 3barren womb, Earth that is never satisfied with water, And fire that never says, “Enough.”17The eye that 4mocks a father And 56scorns a mother, The 7ravens of the valley will pick it out, And the young 8eagles will eat it.

18There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Four which I do not understand:19The way of an 9eagle in the sky, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the middle of the sea, And the way of a man with a maid.20This is the way of an 10adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, “I have done no wrong.”

21Under three things the earth quakes, And under four, it cannot bear up:22Under a 11slave when he becomes king, And a fool when he is satisfied with food,23Under an unloved woman when she gets a husband, And a maidservant when she supplants her mistress.
