- The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
- The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
- There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
- The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
- Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

- 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."
