Proverbs 30:18 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 30:18

There be three [things which] are too wonderful for me
Which were above his reach and comprehension; what he could not find out, nor account for, nor sufficiently admire; yea, four things which I know not;
the way of them; as follows.

Proverbs 30:18 In-Context

16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth [that] is not filled with water; and the fire [that] saith not, [It is] enough.

17 The eye [that] mocketh at [its] father, and despiseth to obey [its] mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

18 There are three [things which] are too wonderful for me, yes, four which I know not:

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.
