Proverbs 30:15-31

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.

24There are four things on earth that are small, but they are exceedingly wise:

25ants are creatures with little strength, but they prepare their food in the summer;

26rock badgers are creatures with little power, but they make their homes in the crags;

27locusts have no king, but they all go forward by ranks;

28a lizard you can catch with the hand, but it gets into the palaces of the king.

29There are three things that are magnificent in their step, four things that move about magnificently:

30a lion, mightiest of the beasts, who does not retreat from anything;

31a strutting rooster, a male goat, and a king with his army around him.
