Proverbs 30:18-33

¹⁸Three things are too wonderful for me;
four I do not understand:
¹⁹the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a girl. ²⁰This is the way of an adulteress:
she eats, and wipes her mouth,
and says, “I have done no wrong.” ²¹Under three things the earth trembles;
under four it cannot bear up:
²²a slave when he becomes king,
and a fool when glutted with food;
²³an unloved woman when she gets a husband,
and a maid when she succeeds her mistress. ²⁴Four things on earth are small,
yet they are exceedingly wise:
²⁵the ants are a people without strength,
yet they provide their food in the summer;
²⁶the badgers are a people without power,
yet they make their homes in the rocks;
²⁷the locusts have no king,
yet all of them march in rank;
²⁸the lizard can be grasped in the hand,
yet it is found in kings’ palaces. ²⁹Three things are stately in their stride;
four are stately in their gait:
³⁰the lion, which is mightiest among wild animals
and does not turn back before any;
³¹the strutting rooster, the he-goat,
and a king striding before his people. ³²If you have been foolish, exalting yourself,
or if you have been devising evil,
put your hand on your mouth.
³³For as pressing milk produces curds,
and pressing the nose produces blood,
so pressing anger produces strife.
