Proverbs 30:18 In-Context

16 Sheol and barrenness of womb, the land is not satisfied [with] water, and fire does not say "enough!"

17 The eye [that] mocks a father and scorns the obedience of a mother-- the ravens of the valley will peck it out, and the offspring of vultures will eat it.

18 Three of these are [too] wonderful for me, and four, I do not understand them:

19 the way of the eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship in the heart of the sea, and the way of a man with a young woman.

20 This is the way of a woman committing adultery: she eats and wipes her mouth, and says "I have not done wrong."
