Proverbs 30:17 in Context — Proverbs 30
15 A sanguessuga tem duas filhas: “Dá” e “Dá”; estas três coisas nunca se fartam, e quatro nunca dizem “É o suficiente”:
16 O Xeol, o útero estéril, a terra que não se farta de água, e o fogo que nunca diz estar satisfeito.
17 Os olhos que zombam do pai ou desprezam obedecer à mãe, os corvos do riacho os arrancarão, e os filhotes de abutre os comerão.
18 Estas três coisas me maravilham, e quatro que não entendo:
19 O caminho da águia no céu, o caminho da serpente na rocha, o caminho do navio no meio do mar, e o caminho do homem com uma moça.
