Bible. Proverbs
20:030:004 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath
gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a
garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what
is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
20:030:005 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put
their trust in him.
20:030:006 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be
found a liar.
20:030:007 Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I
die:
20:030:008 Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty
nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me:
20:030:009 Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or
lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in
vain.
20:030:010 Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and
thou be found guilty.
20:030:011 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not
bless their mother.
20:030:012 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet
is not washed from their filthiness.
20:030:013 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their
eyelids are lifted up.
20:030:014 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their
jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth,
and the needy from among men.
20:030:015 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give. There
are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things
say not, It is enough:
20:030:016 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled
with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
20:030:017 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.
20:030:018 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea,
four which I know not:
20:030:019 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.
20:030:020 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth
her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.
20:030:021 For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which
it cannot bear:
20:030:022 For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled
with meat;
20:030:023 For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that
is heir to her mistress.
20:030:024 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they

20:030:025 The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat
in the summer;
