Olam 2

There be three <i>things which</i> are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:

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.

Such <i>is</i> the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

For three <i>things</i> the earth is disquieted, and for four <i>which</i> it cannot bear:

For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;

For an odious <i>woman</i> when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.

There be four <i>things which are</i> little upon the earth, but they <i>are</i> exceeding wise:

The ants <i>are</i> a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;

The conies <i>are but</i> a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks;

The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands;
