Three Things, No Four - 31 Days of Wisdom - Proverbs 30

I have not learned wisdom, nor have I attained to the knowledge of the Holy One. Who has gone up to heaven and come down?
Whose hands have gathered u pthe wind?
Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name, and what is the name of his sone?
Surely you know!
"Every word of God is flawless;
he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Prov. 30:3-5

Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the Lord?' Or, I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.

There are those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers; those who are pure in their own eyes and yet are not cleansed of their filth; those whose eyes are ever so haughty, whose glances are so disdainful; those whose teeth are swords and whose jaws are set with knives to devour the poor from the earth and the needy from among mankind. "The leech has two daughters. 'Give! Give!' they cry.

There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, 'Enough!':

the grave
the barren womb
land, which is never satisfied with water,
and fire, which never says, 'Enough!'

There are three things that are too amazing for me. four that I do not understand:

the way of the eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a young woman.

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

a servant who becomes king,
a godless fool who gets plenty to eat,
a contemptible woman who gets married,
and a servant who displaces her mistress.

Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise:

Ants are creatures of little strenght, yet they store up their food in the summer;
hyraxes are creatures of little power, yet they make their home in the crags;
locusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranks;
a lizard can be caught with the hand,, yet it is found in kings' palaces.

There are three things that are stately in their stride, four that move with stately bearing:

a lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing;
a strutting rooster,
a he-goat,
and a king secure against revolt.

If you play the fool and exalt yourself, or if you plan evil, clap your hand over your mouth! For as churning cream produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife."
