Proverbs 30:21-23

Proverbs 30:21-23

[21] For three  things the earth  is disquieted,  and for four  which it cannot  bear:  [22] For a servant  when he reigneth;  and a fool  when he is filled  with meat;  [23] For an odious  woman when she is married;  and an handmaid  that is heir  to her mistress.
