20 An adulterous woman consumes a man,then wipes her mouth and says, “What’s wrong with that?”
21 There are three things that make the earth tremble—no, four it cannot endure:
22 a slave who becomes a king,an overbearing fool who prospers,
23 a bitter woman who finally gets a husband,a servant girl who supplants her mistress.
24 There are four things on earth that are small but unusually wise:
25 Ants—they aren’t strong,but they store up food all summer.
26 Hyraxes—they aren’t powerful,but they make their homes among the rocks.
