Proverbs 30:18 In-Context

16 Sheol, the barren womb; The earth that is not satisfied with water; The fire that doesn't say, 'Enough;'

17 And the eye that mocks at his father, And scorns obedience to his mother: The ravens of the valley shall pick it out, The young eagles shall eat it.

18 "There are three things which are too amazing for me, Four which I don't understand:

19 The way of an eagle in the air; The way of a serpent on a rock; The way of a ship in the midst of the sea; And the way of a man with a maiden.

20 So is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, 'I have done nothing wrong.'
