Proverbs 30:18-31

18There are threethings 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.1 20Such 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 is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear: 22For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with food; 23For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

24There are fourthings which arelittle upon the earth, but they are very wise:2 25The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer; 26The conies are but a feeble people, yet they make their houses in the rocks; 27The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;3 28The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.

29There are threethings which go well, yea, four are stately in going: 30A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any; 31A greyhound; a male goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.4
