Proverbs 30:14-33

30:14

[There is] a generation
<01755>_,

whose teeth
<08127>

[are as] swords
<02719>_,

and their jaw teeth
<04973>

[as] knives
<03979>_,

to devour
<0398> (8800)

the poor
<06041>

from off the earth
<0776>_,

and the needy
<034>

from [among] men
<0120>_.

30:15

The horseleach
<05936>

hath two
<08147>

daughters
<01323>_,

[crying], Give
<03051> (8798)_,

give
<03051> (8798)_.

There are three
<07969>

[things that] are never satisfied
<07646> (8799)_,

[yea], four
<0702>

[things] say
<0559> (8804)

not, [It is] enough
<01952>_:

{It is...: Heb. Wealth}

30:16

The grave
<07585>_;

and the barren
<06115>

womb
<07356>_;

the earth
<0776>

[that] is not filled
<07646> (8804)

with water
<04325>_;

and the fire
<0784>

[that] saith
<0559> (8804)

not, [It is] enough
<01952>_.

30:17

The eye
<05869>

[that] mocketh
<03932> (8799)

at [his] father
<01>_,

and despiseth
<0936> (8799)

to obey
<03349>

[his] mother
<0517>_,

the ravens
<06158>

of the valley
<05158>

shall pick it out
<05365> (8799)_,

and the young
<01121>

eagles
<05404>

shall eat
<0398> (8799)

it. {the valley: or, the brook}

30:18

There be three
<07969>

[things which] are too wonderful
<06381> (8738)

for me, yea, four
<0702>

which I know
<03045> (8804)

not:

30:19

The way
<01870>

of an eagle
<05404>

in the air
<08064>_;

the way
<01870>

of a serpent
<05175>

upon a rock
<06697>_;

the way
<01870>

of a ship
<0591>

in the midst
<03820>

of the sea
<03220>_;

and the way
<01870>

of a man
<01397>

with a maid
<05959>_.

{midst: Heb. heart}

30:20

Such [is] the way
<01870>

of an adulterous
<05003> (8764)

woman
<0802>_;

she eateth
<0398> (8804)_,

and wipeth
<04229> (8804)

her mouth
<06310>_,

and saith
<0559> (8804)_,

I have done
<06466> (8804)

no wickedness
<0205>_.

30:21

For three
<07969>

[things] the earth
<0776>

is disquieted
<07264> (8804)_,

and for four
<0702>

[which] it cannot
<03201> (8799)

bear
<05375> (8800)_:

30:22

For a servant
<05650>

when he reigneth
<04427> (8799)_;

and a fool
<05036>

when he is filled
<07646> (8799)

with meat
<03899>_;

30:23

For an odious
<08130> (8803)

[woman] when she is married
<01166> (8735)_;

and an handmaid
<08198>

that is heir
<03423> (8799)

to her mistress
<01404>_.

30:24

There be four
<0702>

[things which are] little
<06996>

upon the earth
<0776>_,

but they [are] exceeding
<02449> (8794)

wise
<02450>_:

{exceeding...: Heb. wise, made wise}

30:25

The ants
<05244>

[are] a people
<05971>

not strong
<05794>_,

yet they prepare
<03559> (8686)

their meat
<03899>

in the summer
<07019>_;

30:26

The conies
<08227>

[are but] a feeble
<06099>

folk
<05971>_,

yet make
<07760> (8799)

they their houses
<01004>

in the rocks
<05553>_;

30:27

The locusts
<0697>

have no king
<04428>_,

yet go they forth
<03318> (8799)

all of them by bands
<02686> (8802)_;

{by...: Heb. gathered together}

30:28

The spider
<08079>

taketh hold
<08610> (8762)

with her hands
<03027>_,

and is in kings
<04428>_'

palaces
<01964>_.

30:29

There be three
<07969>

[things] which go
<06806>

well
<03190> (8688)_,

yea, four
<0702>

are comely
<02895> (8688)

in going
<03212> (8800)_:

30:30

A lion
<03918>

[which is] strongest
<01368>

among beasts
<0929>_,

and turneth not away
<07725> (8799)

for
<06440>

any;

30:31

A greyhound
<04975> <02223>_;

an he goat
<08495>

also
<0176>_;

and a king
<04428>_,

against whom [there is] no rising up
<0510>_.

{greyhound: or, horse: Heb. girt in the loins}

30:32

If thou hast done foolishly
<05034> (8804)

in lifting up
<05375> (8692)

thyself, or if thou hast thought evil
<02161> (8804)_,

[lay] thine hand
<03027>

upon thy mouth
<06310>_.

30:33

Surely the churning
<04330>

of milk
<02461>

bringeth forth
<03318> (8686)

butter
<02529>_,

and the wringing
<04330>

of the nose
<0639>

bringeth forth
<03318> (8686)

blood
<01818>_:

so the forcing
<04330>

of wrath
<0639>

bringeth forth
<03318> (8686)

strife
<07379>_.
