20Such is the way of an adulterous woman, who having washed herself from what she has done, says she has done nothing amiss.
21By three thing the earth is troubled, and the fourth it can’t bear:
22if a servant reign; or a fool be filled with food;
23or if a maidservant should cast out her own mistress; and if a hateful woman should marry a good man.
24And there are four very little things upon the earth, but these are wiser than the wise:
25the ants which are weak, and yet prepare their food in summer;
26the rabbits also are a feeble race, who make their houses in the rocks.
27The locusts have no king, and yet march orderly at one command.
28And the eft, which supports itself by its hands, and is easily taken, dwells in the fortresses of kings.
29And there are three things which go well, and a fourth which passes along finely.
30A lion's whelp, stronger than all other beasts, which turns not away, nor fears any beast;
31and a cock walking in boldly among the hens, and the goat leading the herd; and a king publicly speaking before a nation.
32If you abandon yourself to mirth, and stretch forth your hand in a quarrel, you shall be disgraced.
33Milk out milk, and there shall be butter, and if you wing one's nostrils there shall come out blood: so if you extort words, there will come forth quarrels and strifes.
