Proverbs 30:16-26

Third Millennium Bible w/ Apocrypha TMBA

16 the grave, the barren womb, the earth that is not filled with water, and the fire that saith not, "It is enough."

17 The eye that mocketh at his father and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

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

19 the 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.

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

21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:

22 for a servant when he reigneth, and a fool when he is filled with meat,

23 for an odious woman when she is married, and a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.

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

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

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

18 “There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand:

19 the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a young woman.

20 “This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I’ve done nothing wrong.’

21 “Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up:

22 a servant who becomes king, a godless fool who gets plenty to eat,

23 a contemptible woman who gets married, and a servant who displaces her mistress.

24 “Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise:

25 Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;

26 hyraxes are creatures of little power, yet they make their home in the crags;
