18 "There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand:
18 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:
18 Three things are too wonderful for me; four I do not understand:
18 Three things amaze me, no, four things I'll never understand -
18 There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yes, four which I do not understand:
18 There are three things that amaze me- no, four things that I don't understand:
19 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 young woman.
19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst
19 the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a virgin.
19 how an eagle flies so high in the sky, how a snake glides over a rock, how a ship navigates the ocean, why adolescents act the way they do.
19 The way of an eagle in the air, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the midst of the sea, And the way of a man with a virgin.
19 how an eagle glides through the sky, how a snake slithers on a rock, how a ship navigates the ocean, how a man loves a woman.
(Read Proverbs 30:18-20)
Four things cannot be fully known. The kingdom of nature is full of marvels. The fourth is a mystery of iniquity; the cursed arts by which a vile seducer gains the affections of a female; and the arts which a vile woman uses to conceal her wickedness.
