21 “Under three things the earth trembles,

under four it cannot bear up:

22 a servant who becomes king,

a godless fool who gets plenty to eat,

23 a contemptible woman who gets married,

and a servant who displaces her mistress.

21 Under three things the earth trembles;

under four it cannot bear up:

22 a slave when he becomes king,

and a fool when he is filled with food;

23 an unloved woman when she gets a husband,

and a maidservant when she displaces her mistress.

21 There are three things that make the earth tremble—

no, four it cannot endure:

22 a slave who becomes a king,

an overbearing fool who prospers,

23 a bitter woman who finally gets a husband,

a servant girl who supplants her mistress.

21 For three things the earth is perturbed,

Yes, for four it cannot bear up:

22 For a servant when he reigns,

A fool when he is filled with food,

23 A hateful woman when she is married,

And a maidservant who succeeds her mistress.

21 “There are three things that make the earth tremble,

really four it cannot stand:

22 a servant who becomes a king,

a foolish person who has plenty to eat,

23 a hated woman who gets married,

and a maid who replaces her mistress.

21 For three things the earth doth tremble,

And for four, which it cannot bear:

22 For a servant when he is king;

And a fool when he is filled with food;

23 For an odious woman when she is married;

And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

21 Under three things the earth is disquieted, and under four it cannot bear up: 22 Under a servant when he reigneth, and a churl when he is filled with meat; 23 under an odious woman when she is married, and a handmaid when she is heir to her mistress.

21 Three things cause the earth to tremble, 

even four it cannot bear up under: 

22 a slave when he becomes king, 

a godless fool when he is filled with food, 

23 a woman who is unloved when she gets married, 

a maid when she replaces her mistress. 

21 The earth trembles under three things;

it cannot bear up under four:

22 a servant when he becomes king,

a fool when he is stuffed with food,

23 an unloved woman when she marries,

and a servant girl when she ousts her queen.

21 Under three things the earth trembles;

under four it cannot bear up:

22 a slave when he becomes king,

and a fool when glutted with food;

23 an unloved woman when she gets a husband,

and a maid when she succeeds her mistress.

21 Under three things the earth trembles,

and under four, it is not able to bear up:

22 under a slave when he becomes king,

and a fool when he is satisfied with food;

23 under an unloved woman when she gets married,

and a maid when she succeeds her mistress.

21 “Under three things the earth shakes.

Under four things it can’t stand up.

22 The first is a servant who becomes a king.

The second is a foolish person who is full of food.

23 The third is a woman who is married but not loved by her husband.

And the fourth is a woman servant who takes the place of the woman she works for.

21 Under three things the earth quakes,

And under four, it cannot bear up:

22 Under a slave when he becomes king,

And a fool when he is satisfied with food,

23 Under an unloved woman when she gets a husband,

And a maidservant when she supplants her mistress.
