Proverbs 30:9-19

9 ne forte saturatus inliciar ad negandum et dicam quis est Dominus et egestate conpulsus furer et peierem nomen Dei mei

10 ne accuses servum ad dominum suum ne forte maledicat tibi et corruas

11 generatio quae patri suo maledicit et quae non benedicit matri suae

12 generatio quae sibi munda videtur et tamen non est lota a sordibus suis

13 generatio cuius excelsi sunt oculi et palpebrae eius in alta subrectae

14 generatio quae pro dentibus gladios habet et commandit molaribus suis ut comedat inopes de terra et pauperes ex hominibus

15 sanguisugae duae sunt filiae dicentes adfer adfer tria sunt insaturabilia et quartum quod numquam dicit sufficit

16 infernus et os vulvae et terra quae non satiatur aqua ignis vero numquam dicit sufficit

17 oculum qui subsannat patrem et qui despicit partum matris suae effodiant corvi de torrentibus et comedant illum filii aquilae

18 tria sunt difficilia mihi et quartum penitus ignoro

19 viam aquilae in caelo viam colubri super petram viam navis in medio mari et viam viri in adulescentula
