Proverbs 30:18-31
18ThereH1992 are threeH7969 thingsH7969 which areH6381 tooH4480 wonderfulH6381 for me, FourH702 which I do not understandH3045:19The wayH1870 of the 1eagleH5404 in the skyH8064, The wayH1870 of a snakeH5175 on a rockH6697, The wayH1870 of a shipH591 in the middleH3820 of the seaH3220, And the wayH1870 of a manH1397 with a 2virginH5959.20ThisH3651 is the wayH1870 of an 3adulterousH5003 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 endureH5375:22UnderH8478 a 4slaveH5650 whenH3588 he becomesH4427 kingH4427, And a foolH5036 whenH3588 he isH7646 satisfiedH7646 with foodH3899,23UnderH8478 an unlovedH8130 woman whenH3588 she getsH1166 aH1166 husbandH1166, And a femaleH8198 servantH8198 whenH3588 she dispossessesH3423 her mistressH1404.
24FourH702 thingsH702 are smallH6996 on the earthH776, But they are exceedinglyH2449 wiseH2450:25The 5antsH5244 are not a strongH5794 peopleH5971, But they prepareH3559 their foodH3899 in the summerH7019;26The 6rockH8227 hyraxesH8227 are not a mightyH6099 peopleH5971, Yet they makeH7760 their housesH1004 in the rocksH5553;27The locustsH697 haveH369 noH369 kingH4428, Yet allH3605 of them goH3318 outH3318 inH2686 7ranksH2686;28The lizardH8079 you may graspH8610 with the handsH3027, Yet it is in kings’H4428 palacesH1964.
29ThereH1992 are threeH7969 thingsH7969 which are statelyH3190 in their marchH6806, Even fourH702 which are statelyH3190 when they walkH1980:30The lionH3918, which is 8mightyH1368 among animalsH929 And does not 910retreatH7725 from anythingH3605,31The 11struttingH2223H4975 roosterH2223 orH176 the maleH8495 goatH8495, And a kingH4428 when his armyH510 is with him.
