Proverbs 30:21 in context

  1. 19The way of an eagle in the air,
    the way of a serpent on a rock,
    the way of a ship in the middle of the sea,
    and the way of a man with a maiden.
  2. 20“So is the way of an adulterous woman:
    She eats and wipes her mouth,
    and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’
  3. 21“For three things the earth trembles,
    and under four, it can’t bear up:
  4. 22For a servant when he is king,
    a fool when he is filled with food,
  5. 23for an unloved woman when she is married,
    and a servant who is heir to her mistress.
