20 “This is the way of a woman who takes part in adultery:She acts as if she had eaten and washed her face;she says, ‘I haven’t done anything wrong.’
21 “There are three things that make the earth tremble,really four it cannot stand:
22 a servant who becomes a king,a foolish person who has plenty to eat,
23 a hated woman who gets married,and a maid who replaces her mistress.
24 “There are four things on earth that are small,but they are very wise:
25 Ants are not very strong,but they store up food in the summer.
26 Rock badgers are not very powerful,but they can live among the rocks.
