Proverbs 30:18 in context

1. 16Sheol,
   the barren womb;
   the earth that is not satisfied with water;
   and the fire that doesn’t say, ‘Enough.’
2. 17“The eye that mocks at his father,
   and scorns obedience to his mother:
   the ravens of the valley shall pick it out,
   the young eagles shall eat it.
3. 18“There are three things which are too amazing for me,
   four which I don’t understand:
4. 19The way of an eagle in the air,
   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 maiden.
5. 20“So is the way of an adulterous woman:
   She eats and wipes her mouth,
   and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’
