20. Such is the way also of an adulterous woman, who eats, and wiping her mouth, says: "I have done no evil."
21. By three things, the earth is moved, and a fourth it is not able to sustain:
22. by a slave when he reigns, by the foolish when he has been filled with food,
23. by a hateful woman when she has been taken in matrimony, and by a handmaid when she has been heir to her mistress.
24. Four things are least upon the earth, and they are wiser than the wise:
25. the ants, an infirm people who provide food for themselves at the harvest,
26. the rabbit, a sickened people who make their bed upon the rock.
27. The locust has no king, but they all depart by their troops.
