Proverbs 30:15–29

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 an 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:
