Proverbs 30:14-22

¹⁴There is a class, whose teeth are swords, And their jaw-teeth knives, To devour the poor from off the earth, And the needy from among men.

¹⁵The vampire hath two daughters; “Give! give!” is their cry. There are three things which are never satisfied; Yea, four which say not, “Enough!”

¹⁶The underworld, and the barren womb; The earth, which is not satiated with water, And fire, which never saith, “It is enough!”

¹⁷The eye that mocketh at a father, And scorneth to obey a mother, The ravens of the valley shall pick it out, And the young eagles shall eat it.

¹⁸These three things are too wonderful for me; Yea, there are four which I understand not:

¹⁹The track of an eagle in the air, The track of a serpent upon a rock, The track of a ship in the midst of the sea, And the track of a man with a maid.

²⁰Such is the way of an adulterous woman; She eateth, and wipeth her mouth, And saith, “I have done nothing wrong.”

²¹Under three things is the earth disquieted; Yea, under four it cannot bear up:

²²Under a servant when he becometh a king, And a fool when he is filled with bread;
