17 And the eye that mocks at his father, And scorns obedience to his mother: The ravens of the valley shall pick it out, The young eagles shall eat it.
18 "There are three things which are too amazing for me, Four which I don`t understand:
19 The way of an eagle in the air; The way of a serpent on a rock; The way of a ship in the midst of the sea; And the way of a man with a maiden.
20 So is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, `I have done nothing wrong.`
21 "For three things the earth tremble, And under four, it can`t bear up:
22 For a servant when he is king; A fool when he is filled with food;
23 For an unloved woman when she is married; And a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.
