Proverbs 30:17-19

The Voice

¹⁷ One who derides his father
    and fails to honor his mother in old age
Will die in contempt: his eyes will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley
    and eaten by the young vultures when his unburied body lies on the trash heap.

¹⁸ There are three mysteries I find absolutely amazing,
    no, make it four I cannot comprehend:
¹⁹ The way an eagle flies through the sky,
    the way a snake moves over a rock,
The way a boat glides through the middle of the sea,
    and the way a man becomes one with his virgin wife.
