Proverbs 30:18-27

¹⁸These three things are amazingly hard for me, four things I just can't understand:

¹⁹The 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.

²⁰This is the way of a woman who commits adultery: she eats, she wipes her mouth, and then says, “I haven't done anything wrong!”

²¹Three things make the earth tremble, there are four things it can't support:

²²a slave becoming a king, a stupid person eating like a pig,

²³an unbearable woman getting married, and a maidservant taking her mistress's place.

²⁴There are four things on earth that are small, but very wise:

²⁵Ants—they're not strong, but they work hard all summer storing up food.

²⁶Hyraxes—they don't have much power, but they make their homes in the rock.

²⁷Locusts—they don't have a king, but they all march in line abreast.
