Proverbs 30:10–31

¹⁰Accuse not a servant unto his master,

Lest he ^ucurse thee, and ^wthou be found guilty.

¹¹There is a generation that ^xcurseth their father,

And doth not bless their mother.

¹²There is a generation that are ^ypure in their own eyes,

And yet is not washed from their filthiness.

¹³There is a generation, O how ^zlofty are their eyes!

And their eyelids are lifted up.

¹⁴There is a generation, ^awhose teeth are as swords,

And their ^bjaw teeth as knives,

To ^cdevour the poor from off the earth,

And the needy from among men.

¹⁵The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give.

There are ^dthree things that are never satisfied,

Yea, ^dfour things say not, It is enough:

^16eThe grave; and ^fthe barren womb;

The earth that is not filled with water;

And the fire that saith not, It is enough.

¹⁷The eye that ^gmocketh at his father,

And ^hdespiseth ⁱto obey his mother,

^kThe ravens of the valley shall ^lpick it out,

And the young eagles shall eat it.

¹⁸There be ^dthree things which are ^mtoo wonderful for me,

Yea, ^dfour which I know not:

¹⁹ⁿThe way of an eagle in the air;

The way of a serpent upon a rock;

^oThe way of a ship in the midst of the sea;

And the way 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 no wickedness.

²¹For ^dthree things ^pthe earth is disquieted,

And for ^dfour which it cannot bear:

^22qFor a servant when he reigneth;

And ^ra fool when he is filled with meat;

²³For an ^sodious woman ^twhen she is married;

And a handmaid ^uthat is heir to her mistress.

²⁴There be four things which are little upon the earth,

But they are exceeding wise:

^25vThe ants are a people not strong,

Yet ^wthey prepare their meat in the summer;

^26xThe ^yconies are but a feeble folk,

Yet make they their houses in ^xthe rocks;

²⁷The locusts ^zhave no king,

Yet go they forth all of them ^aby bands;

²⁸The spider taketh hold with her hands,

And is in kings’ palaces.

²⁹There be ^bthree things which go well,

Yea, ^bfour are comely in going:

³⁰A ^clion which is strongest among beasts,

And ^dturneth not away for any;

³¹A greyhound; a he goat also;

And a king, against whom there is no rising up.
