Proverbs 30:18-31

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

19The way of an eagle in the air, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the midst of the sea, And the way of a man with a virgin.

20This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, “I have done no wickedness.”

21For three things the earth is perturbed, Yes, for four it cannot bear up:

22For a servant when he reigns, A fool when he is filled with food,

23A hateful woman when she is married, And a maidservant who succeeds her mistress.

24There are four things which are little on the earth, But they are exceedingly wise:

25The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare their food in the summer;

26The rock badgers are a feeble folk, Yet they make their homes in the crags;

27The locusts have no king, Yet they all advance in ranks;

28The spider skillfully grasps with its hands, And it is in kings’ palaces.

29There are three things which are majestic in pace, Yes, four which are stately in walk:

30A lion, which is mighty among beasts And does not turn away from any;

31A greyhound, A male goat also, And a king whose troops are with him.
