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.

Under three things the earth trembles;
under four it cannot bear up:
a slave when he becomes king,
and a fool when he is filled with food;
an unloved woman when she gets a husband,
and a maidservant when she displaces her mistress.

The earth trembles under three things;
it cannot bear up under four:
a servant when he becomes king,
a fool when he is stuffed with food,
an unloved woman when she marries,

NLTNew Living Translation
There are three things that make the earth tremble—
no, four it cannot endure:
a slave who becomes a king,
an overbearing fool who prospers,
a bitter woman who finally gets a husband,
a servant girl who supplants her mistress.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Under three things the earth trembles,
and under four, it is not able to bear up:
under a slave when he becomes king,
and a fool when he is satisfied with food;
under an unloved woman when she gets married,
and a maid when she succeeds her mistress.
