Proverbs 30:15-23

15The leech has two daughters: “Give! Give!” There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, “Enough” –

16the grave, the barren womb, land that is not satisfied with water, and fire that never says, “Enough!”

17The eye that mocks at a father and despises obeying a mother – the ravens of the valley will peck it out and the young vultures will eat it.

18There are three things that are too wonderful for me, four that I do not understand:

19the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship in the sea, and the way of a man with a woman.

20This is the way of an adulterous woman: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, “I have not done wrong.”

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

22under a servant who becomes king, under a fool who is stuffed with food,

23under an unloved woman who is married, and under a female servant who dispossesses her mistress.
