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 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.

21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and the fourth it cannot bear:

22 For a slave when he reigns; and a fool when he is filled with bread;

23 for a rejected woman when she is married; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
