Proverbs 30:19


Proverbs 30:18 Proverbs 30:19 (KJV) Proverbs 30:20
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.
