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;
23Under an odious woman when she becometh a wife, And a handmaid when she becometh heir to her mistress.
24There are four things which are small upon the earth, Yet are they wise, instructed in wisdom.
25The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare in the summer their food.
26The conies are a feeble people, Yet do they make their houses in the rocks.
27The locusts have no king, Yet do they all go forth in bands.
28The lizard seizeth with its hands, And is in king's palaces.
29These three have a graceful step; Yea, four are graceful in their walk:
