Under three things the earth trembles, and under four things it cannot bear up:

The righteous person is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked turns up in his stead.

The wicked become a ransom for the righteous, and the faithless are taken in the place of the upright.

Because they hated moral knowledge, and did not choose to fear the Lord,

As for the one who repays evil for good, evil will not leave his house.

If you do not have enough to pay, your bed will be taken right out from under you!

under a servant who becomes king, under a fool who is stuffed with food,

under an unloved woman who is married, and under a female servant who dispossesses her mistress.
