30:4 Who hath ascended into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield to them that put their trust in him.
30:6 Add thou not to his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.
30:7 Two things have I required of thee; deny them not to me before I die:
30:11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
30:12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
30:13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
30:14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw-teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
30:15 The horse-leech hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, yes, four things say not, It is enough:
30:16 The grave; and the barrenwomb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
30:17 The eye that mocketh at its father, and despiseth to obey its mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
30:18 There are three things which are too wonderful for me, yes, four which I know not:
30:19 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.
30:20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
30:21 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
30:22 For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with food.
30:23 For an odious woman when she is married; and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
30:24 There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are very wise:
30:25 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer;
30:26 The conies are but a feeble people, yet they make their houses in the rocks;
30:27 The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
30:28 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in king's palaces.
30:29 There are three things which go well, yes, four are comely in going:
30:30 A lion, which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any;
30:31 A greyhound; a he-goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.
30:32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
30:33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife.
