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 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.
