Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Proverbs 30
¹⁷ The eye that mocks his father, And scorns obedience to his mother, The ravens of the valley will pick it out, And the young eagles will eat it.
¹⁸ There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yes, four which I do not 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 virgin.
²⁰ This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, "I have done no wickedness."
²¹ For three things the earth is perturbed, Yes, for four it cannot bear up:
²² For a servant when he reigns, A fool when he is filled with food,
²³ A hateful woman when she is married, And a maidservant who succeeds her mistress.
²⁴ There are four things which are little on the earth, But they are exceedingly wise:
²⁵ The ants are a people not strong, Yet they prepare their food in the summer;
²⁶ The rock badgers are a feeble folk, Yet they make their homes in the crags;
²⁷ The locusts have no king, Yet they all advance in ranks;
