- Sheol, and the barren womb, Earth that is never satisfied with water, And fire that never says, "Enough."
- The eye that mocks a father And scorns a mother, The ravens of the valley will pick it out, And the young eagles will eat it.
- There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Four which I do not understand:
- The way of an eagle in the sky, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the middle of the sea, And the way of a man with a maid.
- This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, "I have done no wrong."

- the grave, the barren womb, land, which is never satisfied with water, and fire, which never says, 'Enough!'
- "The eye that mocks a father, that scorns obedience to a mother, will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, will be eaten by the vultures.
- "There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand:
- 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 maiden.
- "This is the way of an adulteress: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, 'I've done nothing wrong.'
