18. Three things have been too wonderful for me, Yea, four that I have not known:
19. The way of the eagle in the heavens, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the heart of the sea, And the way of a man in youth.
20. So--the way of an adulterous woman, She hath eaten and hath wiped her mouth, And hath said, `I have not done iniquity.'
21. For three things hath earth been troubled, And for four--it is not able to bear:
22. For a servant when he reigneth, And a fool when he is satisfied with bread,
23. For a hated one when she ruleth, And a maid-servant when she succeedeth her mistress.
