## Proverbs 30:19-20 in Context (Verses 16–23 KJV)
 
 [16 ](/kjv/proverbs/30/16) The grave; and the barren womb; the earth *that* is not filled with water; and the fire *that* saith not, *It is* enough.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/proverbs/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 ](/kjv/proverbs/30/18) There be three *things which* are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
 
 [19 ](/kjv/proverbs/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.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/proverbs/30/20) Such *is* the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/proverbs/30/21) For three *things* the earth is disquieted, and for four *which* it cannot bear:
 
 [22 ](/kjv/proverbs/30/22) For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;
 
 [23 ](/kjv/proverbs/30/23) For an odious *woman* when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress.
 
[Proverbs 29](/kjv/proverbs/29) [Proverbs 31](/kjv/proverbs/31)
