Proverbs 30:15-32 in American Standard Version (1901)

15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, Yea, four that say not, Enough:
16 Sheol; and the barren womb; The earth that is not satisfied with water; And the fire that saith not, Enough.
17 The eye that mocketh at his father, And despiseth to obey his 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, Yea, 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 maiden.
20 So 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 doth tremble, And for four, which it cannot bear:
22 For a servant when he is king; And a fool when he is filled with food;
23 For an odious woman when she is married; And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24 There are four things which are little upon the earth, But they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, Yet they provide their food in the summer;
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, Yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, Yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 The lizard taketh hold with her hands, Yet is she in kings’ palaces.
29 There are three things which are stately in their march, Yea, four which are stately in going:
30 The lion, which is mightiest among beasts, And turneth not away for any;
31 The greyhound; the he-goat also; And the king against whom there is no rising up.
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, Or if thou hast thought evil, Lay thy hand upon thy mouth.

Proverbs 30:15-32 in King James Version + Apocrypha

15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough:
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 his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, 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.
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 an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings’ palaces.
29 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely in going:
30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
31 A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.

Proverbs 30 in King James (Authorized) Version

Proverbs 30:15-32 in LXX2012: Septuagint in American English 2012

15 The horse-leech had three dearly beloved daughters: and these three did not satisfy her; and the fourth was not contented so as to say, Enough.
16 The grave, and the love of a woman, and the earth not filled with water; water also and fire will not say, It is enough.
17 The eye that laughs to scorn a father, and dishonors the old age of a mother, let the ravens of the valleys pick it out, and let the young eagles devour it.
18 Moreover there are three things impossible for me to comprehend, and the fourth I know not:
19 the track of a flying eagle; and the ways of a serpent on a rock; and the paths of a ship passing through the sea; and the ways of a man in youth.
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman, who having washed herself from what she has done, says she has done nothing amiss.
21 By three thing the earth is troubled, and the fourth it can’t bear:
22 if a servant reign; or a fool be filled with food;
23 or if a maidservant should cast out her own mistress; and if a hateful woman should marry a good man.
24 And there are four very little things upon the earth, but these are wiser than the wise:
25 the ants which are weak, and yet prepare their food in summer;
26 the rabbits also are a feeble race, who make their houses in the rocks.
27 The locusts have no king, and yet march orderly at one command.
28 And the eft, which supports itself by its hands, and is easily taken, dwells in the fortresses of kings.
29 And there are three things which go well, and a fourth which passes along finely.
30 A lion's whelp, stronger than all other beasts, which turns not away, nor fears any beast;
31 and a cock walking in boldly among the hens, and the goat leading the herd; and a king publicly speaking before a nation.
32 If you abandon yourself to mirth, and stretch forth your hand in a quarrel, you shall be disgraced.

Proverbs 30:15-32 in Translation for Translators

15 Leeches are always wanting more blood to suck; similarly, greedy people are always saying “Give me some!” or “Give me more!” MET There are four things that are never ◄satisfied/content with what they have►; they always want more LIT:
16 The place where the dead people are; women who do not have any children; ground that needs water/rain; and a fire that always needs more wood.
17 Those who SYN make fun of their fathers or refuse to obey their mothers (OR, despise their aged mothers) should die and have their eyes pecked out by crows, and the rest of their corpses should be fed to the vultures.
18 There are four things that are wonderful to me, but I do not understand any of them:
19 How eagles fly in the sky, how snakes are able to move/crawl across a big rock, how ships sail on the seas, and how a man falls in love with a woman.
20 This is what a woman who ◄is not faithful to/does not have sex only with► her husband does: She commits adultery EUP, and then bathes and says, “I have not done anything that is wrong!”
21 There are four things that no one in the world can tolerate:
22 What a slave does who becomes a king, a foolish person eating too much food,
23 what a woman who is hated does when she gets married, and what a female servant does when she becomes the boss instead of her mistress.
24 There are four animals on the earth that are small, but they are very wise:
25 Ants are not strong, but they store up food during the summer in order to have it during the winter.
26 Rock badgers also are not strong, but they make their homes among the rocks where they will be safe.
27 Locusts do not have a king, but they march like the soldiers in an army.
28 Lizards/Geckos are very small and you can hold them in your hand, but they are cleverly able to get inside kings' palaces.
29 There are four animals that strut around and look very impressive while they walk DOU:
30 Lions, which are stronger than all other animals and are not afraid of any of them;
31 male goats, strutting roosters, and kings who ◄parade/walk proudly back and forth► in front of the people whom they rule.
32 If you have acted foolishly, exalting yourself, or if you been planning to do something evil, stop it immediately IDM!

15 “The leech has two daughters: ‘Give, give.’ “There are three things that are never satisfied; four that don’t say, ‘Enough!’:
16 Sheol, the barren womb, the earth that is not satisfied with water, and the fire that doesn’t say, ‘Enough!’
17 “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 middle 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.’
21 “For three things the earth trembles, and under four, it can’t bear up:
22 For a servant when he is king, a fool when he is filled with food,
23 for an unloved woman when she is married, and a servant who is heir to her mistress.
24 “There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are exceedingly wise:
25 The ants are not a strong people, yet they provide their food in the summer.
26 The hyraxes are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks.
27 The locusts have no king, yet they advance in ranks.
28 You can catch a lizard with your hands, yet it is in kings’ palaces.
29 “There are three things which are stately in their march, four which are stately in going:
30 The lion, which is mightiest among animals, and doesn’t turn away for any;
31 the greyhound; the male goat; and the king against whom there is no rising up.

Proverbs 30:15-32 in Bible in Basic English

15 The night-spirit has two daughters, Give, give. There are three things which are never full, even four which never say, Enough:
16 The underworld, and the woman without a child; the earth which never has enough water, and the fire which never says, Enough.
17 The eye which makes sport of a father, and sees no value in a mother when she is old will be rooted out by the ravens of the valley, and be food for the young eagles.
18 There are three things, the wonder of which overcomes me, even four things outside my knowledge:
19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a snake on a rock; the way of a ship in the heart of the sea; and the way of a man with a girl.
20 This is the way of a false wife; she takes food, and, cleaning her mouth, says, I have done no wrong.
21 For three things the earth is moved, and there are four which it will not put up with:
22 A servant when he becomes a king; a man without sense when his wealth is increased;
23 A hated woman when she is married; and a servant-girl who takes the place of her master's wife.
24 There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are very wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, but they put by a store of food in the summer;
26 The conies are only a feeble people, but they make their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, but they all go out in bands;
28 You may take the lizard in your hands, but it is in kings' houses.
29 There are three things whose steps are good to see, even four whose goings are fair:
30 The lion, which is strongest among beasts, not turning from his way for any;
31 The war-horse, and the he-goat, and the king when his army is with him.
32 If you have done foolishly in lifting yourself up, or if you have had evil designs, put your hand over your mouth.
Proverbs 30 in Bible in Basic English

Proverbs 30:15-32 in Darby Translation

15 The leech hath two daughters: Give, give. There are three things never satisfied; four which say not, It is enough:
16 — Sheol, and the barren womb; the earth which is not filled with water, and the fire which saith not, It is enough.
17 The eye that mocketh at a father, and despiseth to obey a mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
18 There are three things too wonderful for me, and four that I know not:
19 The way of an eagle in the heavens, 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 Under three things the earth is disquieted, and under four it cannot bear up:
22 Under a servant when he reigneth, and a churl when he is filled with meat;
23 under an odious woman when she is married, and a handmaid when she is heir to her mistress.
24 There are four things little upon the earth, and they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants, a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;
26 the rock-badgers are but a feeble folk, yet they make their house in the cliff;
27 the locusts have no king, yet they go forth all of them by bands;
28 thou takest hold of the lizard with the hands, yet is she in kings' palaces.
29 There are three things which have a stately step, and four are comely in going:
30 The lion, mighty among beasts, which turneth not away for any;
31 a horse girt in the loins; or the he-goat; and a king, against whom none can rise up.
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay the hand upon thy mouth.
Proverbs 30 in Darby Translation

Proverbs 30:15-32 in Douay-Rheims 1899

15 The horseleech hath two daughters that say: Bring, bring. There are three things that never are satisfied, and the fourth never saith: It is enough.
16 Hell, and the mouth of the womb, and the earth which is not satisfied with water: and the fire never saith: It is enough.
17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.
18 Three things are hard to me, and the fourth I am utterly ignorant of.
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 in youth.
20 Such is also the way of an adulterous woman, who eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: I have done no evil.
21 By three things the earth is disturbed, and the fourth it cannot bear:
22 By a slave when he reigneth: by a fool when he is filled with meat:
23 By an odious woman when she is married: and by a bondwoman when she is heir to her mistress.
24 There are four very little things of the earth, and they are wiser than the wise:
25 The ants, a feeble people, which provide themselves food in the harvest:
26 The rabbit, a weak people, which maketh its bed in the rock:
27 The locust hath no king, yet they all go out by their bands.
28 The stellio supporteth itself on hands, and dwelleth in kings’ houses.
29 There are three things, which go well, and the fourth that walketh happily:
30 A lion, the strongest of beasts, who hath no fear of any thing he meeteth:
31 A cock girded about the loins: and a ram: and a king, whom none can resist.
32 There is that hath appeared a fool after he was lifted up on high: for if he had understood, he would have laid his hand upon his mouth.
Proverbs 30 in Douay-Rheims 1899

Proverbs 30:15-32 in Free Bible Version

15 The leech has two daughters who cry out, “Give me! Give me!” There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, “Enough!”:
16 The grave, the womb that doesn't become pregnant, the earth thirsty for water, and the fire that never says, “Enough!”
17 People who ridicule their fathers and despise obedience to the mother will have their eyes pecked out by wild ravens and eaten by young vultures.
18 These three things are amazingly hard for me, four things I just can't understand:
19 The way an eagle soars in the sky, the way a snake slides over a rock, the way a ship sails across the sea, the way a man and a woman fall in love.
20 This is the way of a woman who commits adultery: she eats, she wipes her mouth, and then says, “I haven't done anything wrong!”
21 Three things make the earth tremble, there are four things it can't support:
22 a slave becoming a king, a stupid person eating like a pig,
23 an unbearable woman getting married, and a maidservant taking her mistress's place.
24 There are four things on earth that are small, but very wise:
25 Ants—they're not strong, but they work hard all summer storing up food.
26 Hyraxes—they don't have much power, but they make their homes in the rock.
27 Locusts—they don't have a king, but they all march in line abreast.
28 Lizards—you can catch them in your hands, but they live in the king's palace.
29 There are three things that are glorious to watch as they walk, four that look dignified as they move:
30 The lion, supreme among wild animals, who isn't frightened of anything.
31 The strutting starling, the male goat, and a king with his army.
32 If you have been foolishly boasting about yourself, or if you've been planning to do something wrong, stop and put your hand over your mouth.
Proverbs 30 in Free Bible Version

Proverbs 30:15-32 in Geneva Bible 1599

15 The horse leache hath two daughters which crye, Giue, giue. There be three things that will not be satisfied: yea, foure that say not, It is ynough.
16 The graue, and the barren wombe, the earth that cannot be satisfied with water, and the fire that sayeth not, It is ynough.
17 The eye that mocketh his father and despiseth the instruction of his mother, let ye rauens of the valley picke it out, and the yong eagles eate it.
18 There be three thinges hid from me: yea, foure that I knowe not,
19 The way of an eagle in the aire, the way of a serpent vpon a stone, ye way of a ship in ye middes of the sea, and the way of a man with a maide.
20 Such is ye way also of an adulterous woman: she eateth and wipeth her mouth, and sayth, I haue not committed iniquitie.
21 For three things the earth is moued: yea, for foure it cannot susteine it selfe:
22 For a seruant when he reigneth, and a foole when he is filled with meate,
23 For the hatefull woman, when she is married, and for a handmaid that is heire to her mistres.
24 These be foure small things in the earth, yet they are wise and full of wisedome:
25 The pismires a people not strong, yet prepare they their meate in sommer:
26 The conies a people not mightie, yet make their houses in the rocke:
27 The grashopper hath no King, yet goe they forth all by bandes:
28 The spider taketh holde with her handes, and is in Kings palaces.
29 There be three thinges that order well their going: yea, foure are comely in going,
30 A lyon which is strong among beastes, and turneth not at the sight of any:
31 A lusty grayhound, and a goate, and a King against whom there is no rising vp.
32 If thou hast bene foolish in lifting thy selfe vp, and if thou hast thought wickedly, lay thine hand vpon thy mouth.
Proverbs 30 in Geneva Bible 1599

Proverbs 30:15-32 in JPS TaNaKH 1917

15 The horseleech hath two daughters: 'Give, give.' There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four that say not: 'Enough':
16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not satisfied with water; and the fire that saith not: 'Enough.'
17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young vultures shall eat it.
18 There are three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, 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 young woman.
20 So 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 doth quake, and for four it cannot endure:
22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a churl when he is filled with food;
23 For an odious woman when she is married; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24 There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they provide their food in the summer;
26 The rock-badgers are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the crags;
27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 The spider thou canst take with the hands, yet is she in kings' palaces.
29 There are three things which are stately in their march, yea, four which are stately in going:
30 The lion, which is mightiest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
31 The greyhound; the he-goat also; and the king, against whom there is no rising up.
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast planned devices, lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
Proverbs 30 in JPS TaNaKH 1917

Proverbs 30:15-32 in KJV Cambridge Paragraph Bible

15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, Yea, four things say not, It is enough:
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 his father, And despiseth to obey his mother, The ravens of the valley shall pick it out, And the young eagles shall eat it.
18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, Yea, 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.
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 that is heir to her mistress.
24 There be four things which are little upon the earth, But they are exceeding wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26 The conies are but a feeble folk, Yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27 The locusts have no king, Yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, And is in kings’ palaces.
29 There be three things which go well, Yea, four are comely in going:
30 A lion which is strongest among beasts, And turneth not away for any;
31 A greyhound; a he goat also; And a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, Or if thou hast thought evil, Lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
Proverbs 30 in KJV Cambridge Paragraph Bible

Proverbs 30:15-32 in Isaac Leeser Tanakh

15 Insatiability hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things which never say, Enough:
16 The nether world; and a barren womb; the earth which is not satisfied with water; and the fire which never saith, Enough.
17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, this shall the ravens of the valley pick out; and the young eagles shall eat it.
18 Three things there are which are too wonderful for me; and four, which I know not:
19 The way of the eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the heart of the sea; and the way of a man with a young woman.
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman: she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wrong.
21 Under three things the earth trembleth, and under four which she cannot bear:
22 Under a servant when he becometh king, and a worthless fool when he hath eaten enough bread;
23 Under an odious woman when she is married, and a bond-woman when she dispossesseth her mistress.
24 There are four which are the little ones of the earth, and they are nevertheless exceedingly wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, therefore do they prepare in the summer their food;
26 The conies are but a feeble people, therefore do they place on the rocks their houses;
27 The locusts have no king, and yet they go forth in troops altogether;
28 The spider thou canst catch with thy hands, and yet she is in the palaces of a king.
29 Three there are that have a stately step, and four, that are stately in going:
30 The lion, the mightiest among beasts, who turneth not round from before any one;
31 The light-legged greyhound, and the he-goat; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
32 If thou hast become degraded by lifting up thyself, or if thou hast devised evil, put thy hand to thy mouth:

Proverbs 30:15-32 in George Noyes Bible

15 The vampire hath two daughters; “Give! give!” is their cry. There are three things which are never satisfied; Yea, four which say not, “Enough!”
16 The underworld, and the barren womb; The earth, which is not satiated with water, And fire, which never saith, “It is enough!”
17 The 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.
18 These three things are too wonderful for me; Yea, there are four which I understand not:
19 The 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.
20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; She eateth, and wipeth her mouth, And saith, “I have done nothing wrong.”
21 Under three things is the earth disquieted; Yea, under four it cannot bear up:
22 Under a servant when he becometh a king, And a fool when he is filled with bread;
23 Under an odious woman when she becometh a wife, And a handmaid when she becometh heir to her mistress.
24 There are four things which are small upon the earth, Yet are they wise, instructed in wisdom.
25 The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare in the summer their food.
26 The conies are a feeble people, Yet do they make their houses in the rocks.
27 The locusts have no king, Yet do they all go forth in bands.
28 The lizard seizeth with its hands, And is in king's palaces.
29 These three have a graceful step; Yea, four are graceful in their walk:
30 The lion, the hero among beasts, Which turneth not back for any;
31 The loin-girded war-horse, the he-goat, And a king who cannot be withstood.
32 If thou hast been foolish in lifting thyself up, And hast meditated evil, Put thy hand on thy mouth!

15 The leech has two daughters: “Give and give” they cry. There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, “Enough”:
16 Sheol; the barren womb; land that is never satisfied with water; and the fire that never says, “Enough!”
17 The eye that mocks a father and scorns obedience to a mother, his eyes will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, and he will be eaten by the vultures.
18 There are three things that are too wonderful for me, four that I do not understand:
19 the way of an eagle in the sky; the way of a snake on a rock; the way of a ship in the heart of the sea; and the way of a man with a young woman.
20 This is the way of an adulteress: she eats and she wipes her mouth and says, “I have done nothing wrong.”
21 Under three things the earth trembles, and under four it cannot bear up:
22 a slave when he becomes king; a fool when he is filled with food;
23 a hated woman when she marries; and a maid when she takes the place of her mistress.
24 Four things on earth are small and yet they are very wise:
25 the ants are creatures that are not strong, but they prepare their food in the summer;
26 the rock badgers are not mighty creatures, but they make their homes in the rocks.
27 Locusts have no king, but all of them march in rank.
28 As for the lizard, you can hold it in your two hands, yet they are found in kings' palaces.
29 There are three things that are stately in their stride and four that are stately in how they walk:
30 a lion, strongest among wild animals— it does not turn away from anything;
31 a strutting rooster; a goat; and a king whose soldiers are beside him.
32 If you have been foolish, exalting yourself, or if you have been devising evil— put your hand over your mouth.

Proverbs 30:15-32 in Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

15 The water leach hath two daughters, saying, Bring, bring. Three things be unable to be filled, and the fourth, that saith never, It sufficeth;
16 hell; and the mouth of the womb; and the earth that is never filled with water; but fire that saith never, It sufficeth.
17 Crows of the strand or the streams peck out that eye, that scorneth the father, and that despiseth the child-bearing of his mother; and the young of an eagle eat that eye.
18 Three things be hard to me, and utterly I know not the fourth thing;
19 the way of an eagle in heaven; the way of a serpent on a stone; the way of a ship in the middle of the sea; and the way of a man in his young waxing age.
20 Such is the way of a woman adulteress, which eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I wrought not evil.
21 The earth is moved by three things, and by the fourth thing, which it may not sustain;
22 by a servant, when he reigneth; by a fool, when he is filled with meat;
23 by an hateful woman, when she is taken in matrimony; and by an handmaid, when she is heir of her lady.
24 Four things be the least things of the earth, and those be wiser than wise men;
25 ants, a feeble people, that make ready meat in harvest to themselves;
26 a hare, a people unmighty, that setteth his bed in a stone;
27 a locust hath no king, and all goeth out by companies;
28 a lizard enforceth or endeavoureth with hands, and dwelleth in the houses of kings.
29 Three things there be, that go well, and the fourth thing, that goeth richly, either by prosperity.
30 A lion, strongest of beasts, shall not dread, at the meeting of any man;
31 a cock, girded up the loins; and a ram, and a king, and none there is that shall against-stand him.
32 He that appeareth a fool, after that he is raised up on high; for if he had understood, he had set his hand on his mouth.

Proverbs 30:15-32 in Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling (Enhanced)

15 The water leach hath two daughters, saying, Bring, bring. Three things be unable to be filled, and the fourth, that saith never, It sufficeth, (or and the fourth, that never saith, It sufficeth);
16 hell; and the mouth of the womb; and the earth that is never filled with water; but fire (that) saith never, It sufficeth. (Sheol, or the land of the dead, or the grave; and the mouth of the womb; and the land that is never filled with water; and the fire that never saith, It sufficeth.)
17 (Let the) Crows of the strand peck out that eye, that scorneth the father, and that despiseth the child-bearing of his mother; and (let) the young of an eagle eat that eye.
18 Three things be hard to me, and utterly I know not the fourth thing (or and the fourth thing I utterly know not);
19 the way of an eagle in (the) heaven(s); the way of a serpent on a stone; the way of a ship in the middle of the sea; and the way of a man in (his) young waxing age.
20 Such is the way of a woman adulteress, which eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I wrought not evil. (Such is the way of an adulterous woman, who eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and then saith, I have done nothing wrong.)
21 The earth is moved by three things, and by the fourth thing, which it may not sustain;
22 by a servant, when he reigneth; by a fool, when he is filled with meat, (or by a fool, when he is filled full with food);
23 by an hateful woman, when she is taken in matrimony; and by an handmaid, when she is heir of her lady, (or and by a servantess, when she is her lady’s heir).
24 Four things be the least things of the earth, and those be wiser than wise men;
25 ants, a feeble people, that make ready meat in harvest to themselves; (ants, a weak, or a lowly, people, that store up food for themselves at harvest time;)
26 a hare, a people unmighty, that setteth his bed in a stone; (rock badgers, also an unmighty people, who make their beds among the rocks;)
27 a locust, (that) hath no king, and (yet) all goeth out by companies;
28 a lizard, enforceth with hands, and dwelleth in the houses of kings. (and a lizard, that endeavoureth with his hands, and liveth in palaces.)
29 Three things there be, that go well, (or And there be three things, that go well), and the fourth thing, that goeth richly, or wellsomely.
30 A lion, strongest of beasts, shall not dread, at the meeting of any man; (A lion, the strongest of beasts, that shall not fear the meeting of any man;)
31 a cock, girded up the loins; and a ram, (and a king), and none there is that shall against-stand him. (a strutting rooster; and a ram; and a king for whom there is no one who shall stand up against him.)
32 He that appeareth a fool, after that he is raised up on high; for if he had understood, he had set (his) hand on his mouth. (Now, if thou hath been a fool, and hath raised up thyself on high, and hath imagined evil; then set thy hand upon thy mouth, and be silent.)

Proverbs 30:15-32 in Young's Literal Translation

15 To the leech are two daughters, 'Give, give, Lo, three things are not satisfied, Four have not said 'Sufficiency;'
16 Sheol, and a restrained womb, Earth — it is not satisfied with water, And fire — it hath not said, 'Sufficiency,'
17 An eye that mocketh at a father, And despiseth to obey a mother, Dig it out do ravens of the valley, And eat it do young eagles.
18 Three things have been too wonderful for me, Yea, four that I have not known:
19 The way of the eagle in the heavens, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the heart of the sea, And the way of a man in youth.
20 So — the way of an adulterous woman, She hath eaten and hath wiped her mouth, And hath said, 'I have not done iniquity.'
21 For three things hath earth been troubled, And for four — it is not able to bear:
22 For a servant when he reigneth, And a fool when he is satisfied with bread,
23 For a hated one when she ruleth, And a maid-servant when she succeedeth her mistress.
24 Four are little ones of earth, And they are made wiser than the wise:
25 The ants are a people not strong, And they prepare in summer their food,
26 Conies are a people not strong, And they place in a rock their house,
27 A king there is not to the locust, And it goeth out — each one shouting,
28 A spider with two hands taketh hold, And is in the palaces of a king.
29 Three there are going well, Yea, four are good in going:
30 An old lion — mighty among beasts, That turneth not back from the face of any,
31 A girt one of the loins, or a he-goat, And a king — no rising up with him.
32 If thou hast been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if thou hast devised evil — hand to mouth!
