18
There are three things that amaze me— no, four things that I don’t understand:
19
how an eagle glides through the sky, how a snake slithers on a rock, how a ship navigates the ocean, how a man loves a woman.
20
An adulterous woman consumes a man, then wipes her mouth and says, “What’s wrong with that?”
21
There are three things that make the earth tremble— no, four it cannot endure:
22
a slave who becomes a king, an overbearing fool who prospers,
23
a bitter woman who finally gets a husband, a servant girl who supplants her mistress.
24
There are four things on earth that are small but unusually wise:
25
Ants—they aren’t strong, but they store up food all summer.
26
Hyraxes —they aren’t powerful, but they make their homes among the rocks.
27
Locusts—they have no king, but they march in formation.
28
Lizards—they are easy to catch, but they are found even in kings’ palaces.
