18. “There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand:
19. the way of an 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.
20. “This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I’ve done nothing wrong.’
21. “Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up:
22. a servant who becomes king, a godless fool who gets plenty to eat,
23. a contemptible woman who gets married, and a servant who displaces her mistress.
