Three Things | Yes Four

These portions of scripture are super interesting. They make me wanna learn more, more, more, more. Verses eighteen and nineteen of Proverbs 30 say, "Three things amaze me, no, four things I'll never understand — 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.

Verses twenty-one through twenty-three say, "Three things are too much for even the earth to bear, yes, four things shake its foundations —  when the janitor becomes the boss, when a fool gets rich, when a whore is voted "woman of the year," when a "girlfriend" replaces a faithful wife.

Verses twenty-four through twenty-eight say, "There are four small creatures, wisest of the wise they are ants—frail as they are, get plenty of food in for the winter; marmots — vulnerable as they are, manage to arrange for rock-solid homes; locusts—leaderless insects, yet they strip the field like an army regiment; lizards — easy enough to catch, but they sneak past vigilant palace guards.

Verses twenty-nine through thrity-one say, "There are three solemn dignitaries, four that are impressive in their bearing — a lion, king of the beasts, deferring to none; a rooster, proud and strutting; a billy goat; a head of state in stately procession.
