19. The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
20. Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
21. For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
22. For a servant when he reigneth; 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.
24. There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are very wise:
25. The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer;
26. The conies are but a feeble people, yet they make their houses in the rocks;
27. The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28. The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in king's palaces.
