Proverbs 30:17-28
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 30
17
The eye that mocks a father
And scorns a 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,
Four which I do not understand:
19
The way of the eagle in the sky,
The way of a snake on a rock,
The way of a ship in the middle 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 wrong.'
21
Under three things the earth quakes,
And under four, it cannot endure:
22
Under a slave when he becomes king,
And a fool when he is satisfied with food,
23
Under an unloved woman when she gets a husband,
And a female servant when she dispossesses her mistress.
24
Four things are small on the earth,
But they are exceedingly wise:
25
The ants are not a strong people,
But they prepare their food in the summer;
26
The rock hyraxes are not a mighty people,
Yet they make their houses in the rocks;
27
The locusts have no king,
Yet all of them go out in ranks;
28
The lizard you may grasp with the hands,
Yet it is in kings’ palaces.
King James Version
Chapter 30
17
The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
18
There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
19
The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
20
Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
21
For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
22
For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
23
For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
24
There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:
25
The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;
26
The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;
27
The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
28
The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 30
17
As for the eye that ridicules a father
and despises obedience to a mother,
may ravens of the valley pluck it out
and young vultures eat it.
18
Three things are too wondrous for me;
four I can’t understand:
19
the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship at sea,
and the way of a man with a young woman.
20
This is the way of an adulteress:
she eats and wipes her mouth
and says, "I’ve done nothing wrong."
21
The earth trembles under three things;
it cannot bear up under four:
22
a servant when he becomes king,
a fool when he is stuffed with food,
23
an unloved woman when she marries,
and a servant girl when she ousts her queen.
24
Four things on earth are small,
yet they are extremely wise:
25
ants are not a strong people,
yet they store up their food in the summer;
26
hyraxes are not a mighty people,
yet they make their homes in the cliffs;
27
locusts have no king,
yet all of them march in ranks;
28
a lizard can be caught in your hands,
yet it lives in kings’ palaces.
New Living Translation
Chapter 30
17
The eye that mocks a father
and despises a mother’s instructions
will be plucked out by ravens of the valley
and eaten by vultures.
18
There are three things that amaze me —
no, four things that I don’t understand:
19
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman.
20
An adulterous woman consumes a man,
then wipes her mouth and says, 'What’s wrong with that?'
21
There are three things that make the earth tremble —
no, four it cannot endure:
22
a slave who becomes a king,
an overbearing fool who prospers,
23
a bitter woman who finally gets a husband,
a servant girl who supplants her mistress.
24
There are four things on earth that are small but unusually wise:
25
Ants — they aren’t strong,
but they store up food all summer.
26
Hyraxes — they aren’t powerful,
but they make their homes among the rocks.
27
Locusts — they have no king,
but they march in formation.
28
Lizards — they are easy to catch,
but they are found even in kings’ palaces.
English Standard Version
Chapter 30
17
The eye that mocks a father
and scorns to obey a mother
will be picked out by the ravens of the valley
and eaten by the vultures.
18
Three things are too wonderful for me;
four I do not understand:
19
the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a serpent on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a virgin.
20
This is the way of an adulteress:
she eats and wipes her mouth
and says, "I have done no wrong."
21
Under three things the earth trembles;
under four it cannot bear up:
22
a slave when he becomes king,
and a fool when he is filled with food;
23
an unloved woman when she gets a husband,
and a maidservant when she displaces her mistress.
24
Four things on earth are small,
but they are exceedingly wise:
25
the ants are a people not strong,
yet they provide their food in the summer;
26
the rock badgers are a people not mighty,
yet they make their homes in the cliffs;
27
the locusts have no king,
yet all of them march in rank;
28
the lizard you can take in your hands,
yet it is in kings ' palaces.
New International Version
Chapter 30
17
"The eye that mocks a father,
that scorns an aged mother,
will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley,
will be eaten by the vultures.
18
"There are three things that are too amazing for me,
four that I do not understand:
19
the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a young woman.
20
"This is the way of an adulterous woman:
She eats and wipes her mouth
and says, ‘I’ve done nothing wrong.’
21
"Under three things the earth trembles,
under four it cannot bear up:
22
a servant who becomes king,
a godless fool who gets plenty to eat,
23
a contemptible woman who gets married,
and a servant who displaces her mistress.
24
"Four things on earth are small,
yet they are extremely wise:
25
Ants are creatures of little strength,
yet they store up their food in the summer;
26
hyraxes are creatures of little power,
yet they make their home in the crags;
27
locusts have no king,
yet they advance together in ranks;
28
a lizard can be caught with the hand,
yet it is found in kings’ palaces.
New King James Version
Chapter 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;
28
The spider skillfully grasps with its hands,
And it is in kings’ palaces.
