Proverbs 30:18-31
18There be threeH7969 things which are too wonderfulH6381 for me, yea, fourH702 which I knowH3045 not:
19The wayH1870 of an eagleH5404 in the airH8064; the wayH1870 of a serpentH5175 upon a rockH6697; the wayH1870 of a shipH591 in the midstH3820 of the seaH3220; and the wayH1870 of a manH1397 with a maidH5959.1
20Such is the wayH1870 of an adulterousH5003 womanH802; she eatethH398, and wipethH4229 her mouthH6310, and saithH559, I have doneH6466 no wickednessH205.
21For threeH7969 things the earthH776 is disquietedH7264, and for fourH702 which it cannotH3201 bearH5375:
22For a servantH5650 when he reignethH4427; and a foolH5036 when he is filledH7646 with meatH3899;
23For an odiousH8130 woman when she is marriedH1166; and an handmaidH8198 that is heirH3423 to her mistressH1404.
24There be fourH702 things which are littleH6996 upon the earthH776, but they are exceedingH2449 wiseH2450:2
25The antsH5244 are a peopleH5971 not strongH5794, yet they prepareH3559 their meatH3899 in the summerH7019;
26The coniesH8227 are but a feebleH6099 folkH5971, yet makeH7760 they their housesH1004 in the rocksH5553;
27The locustsH697 have no kingH4428, yet go they forthH3318 all of them by bandsH2686;3
28The spiderH8079 taketh holdH8610 with her handsH3027, and is in kings’H4428 palacesH1964.
29There be threeH7969 things which goH6806 wellH3190, yea, fourH702 are comelyH2895 in goingH3212:
30A lionH3918 which is strongestH1368 among beastsH929, and turneth not awayH7725 forH6440 any;
31A greyhoundH2223H4975; an he goatH8495 alsoH176; and a kingH4428, against whom there is no rising upH510.4
