Better [is] a dinner of vegetables when love [is] there than a fattened ox and hatred with it.




Dripping constantly on a day of heavy rain and a woman of contention are alike. [In] restraining her, he restrains wind, and his right hand will grasp oil.



Under three [things] the earth trembles, and under four, it is not able to bear up:

under an unloved woman when she gets married, and a maid when she succeeds her mistress.


For the leech, [there are] two daughters; "Give, give!" [they cry]. As for three of these, they are not satisfied; as for four, they do not say enough. Sheol and barrenness of womb, the land is not satisfied [with] water, and fire does not say "enough!"

Three of these are [too] wonderful for me, and four, I do not understand them: the way of the eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship in the heart of the sea, and the way of a man with a young woman. This is the way of a woman committing adultery: she eats and wipes her mouth, and says "I have not done wrong." read more.
Under three [things] the earth trembles, and under four, it is not able to bear up: under a slave when he becomes king, and a fool when he is satisfied [with] food; under an unloved woman when she gets married, and a maid when she succeeds her mistress. There [are] four small things on the earth, and they [are] {exceedingly wise}: The ants [are] a people [who are] not strong, yet they prepare their food in the summer; the badgers [are] a people [who are] not mighty, yet they set their house on the rock; there is no king for the locust, yet it marches in rank; a lizard you [can] seize with hands, yet it is in palaces of kings. There [are] three [things] that are magnificent of stride, and four that are magnificent [when] moving: a mighty lion among the beasts, but he will not turn back from {any face}; a strutting rooster or he-goat, and a king [whose] army [is] with him.
