- 15The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There are three things that are never satisfied, Yea, four that say not, Enough:
- 16Sheol; and the barren womb; The earth that is not satisfied with water; And the fire that saith not, Enough.
- 17The 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.
- 18There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yea, four which I know not:
- 19The 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 maiden.
