Proverbs 30:21 Context
19The way of an Eagle in the ayre; the way of a serpent vpon a rocke; the the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. 20Such is the way of an adulterous woman: she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I haue done no wickednesse. 21For three things the earth is disquieted, and for foure which it cannot beare: 22For a seruant when he reigneth, and a foole when hee is filled with meate: 23For an odious woman when shee is married, and an handmayd that is heire to her mistresse.
