Proverbs 30:18-31

18There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:

19The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.

20So is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

21For three things the earth doth tremble, and for four, which it cannot bear:

22For a servant when he is king; and a fool when he is filled with meat;

23For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

24There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:

25The ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their meat in the summer;

26The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;

27The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;

28The lizard taketh hold with her hands, yet is she in kings’ palaces,

29There be three things which are stately in their march, yea, four which are stately in going:

30The lion, which is mightiest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;

31The greyhound; the he-goat also; and the king, against whom there is no rising up.
