Proverbs 30:15-23

15The leechH5936 has twoH8147 daughtersH1323, “GiveH3051,” “GiveH3051.” ThereH1992 are threeH7969 thingsH7969 that will not be satisfiedH7646, FourH702 that will not sayH559, “EnoughH1952”:1612SheolH7585, and the 3barrenH6115 wombH7358, EarthH776 that is neverH3808 satisfiedH7646 with waterH4325, And fireH784 that neverH3808 saysH559, “EnoughH1952.”17The eyeH5869 that 4mocksH3932 a fatherH1 And 56scornsH936H3349 a motherH517, The 7ravensH6158 of the valleyH5158 will pickH5365 it out, And the youngH1121 8eaglesH5404 will eatH398 it.

18ThereH1992 are threeH7969 thingsH7969 which are tooH4480 wonderfulH6381 for me, FourH702 which I do not understandH3045:19The wayH1870 of an 9eagleH5404 in the skyH8064, The wayH1870 of a serpentH5175 on a rockH6697, The wayH1870 of a shipH591 in the middleH3820 of the seaH3220, And the wayH1870 of a manH1397 with a maidH5959.20ThisH3651 is the wayH1870 of an 10adulterousH5003 womanH802: She eatsH398 and wipesH4229 her mouthH6310, And saysH559, “I have doneH6466 noH3808 wrongH205.”

21UnderH8478 threeH7969 thingsH7969 the earthH776 quakesH7264, And underH8478 fourH702, it cannotH3201H3808 bearH5375 up:22UnderH8478 a 11slaveH5650 whenH3588 he becomesH4427 kingH4427, And a foolH5036 whenH3588 he is satisfiedH7646 with foodH3899,23UnderH8478 an unlovedH8130 woman whenH3588 she getsH1166 a husbandH1166, And a maidservantH8198 whenH3588 she supplantsH3423 her mistressH1404.
