Proverbs 30:21 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 30:21

For three [things] the earth is disquieted
The inhabitants of it are made very uneasy; and for four [which] it cannot bear;
they are a load and burden upon it, and are intolerable to those that dwell on it, and make them very uncomfortable.

Proverbs 30:21 In-Context

19 The 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 maiden.

20 So is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, 'I have done nothing wrong.'

21 "For three things the eretz tremble, And under four, it can't bear up:

22 For a servant when he is king; A fool when he is filled with food;

23 For an unloved woman when she is married; And a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.
