Proverbs 30:18 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 30:18

There be three [things which] are too wonderful for me
Which were above his reach and comprehension; what he could not find out, nor account for, nor sufficiently admire; yea, four things which I know not;

Proverbs 30:18 In-Context

16 Sheol; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that never says, It is enough.
17 The eye that mocks at his father, and despises the teaching of his mother, the ravens shall pluck it out of the river, and the young eagles shall eat it.
18 There are three things which are hidden from me, yea, four which I know not:
19 The track of the eagle in the air; the track of the serpent upon the rock; the track of the ship in the midst of the sea; and the track of the man in the maid.
20 Such is the track of an adulterous woman; she eats, and wipes her mouth, and says, I have done no wickedness.
