How do we look at the world??

PROVERBS 30:15-31

15“ The leech has two daughters.‘ Give! Give!’ they cry.“ There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, ‘Enough!’:

16the grave, the barren womb, land, which is never satisfied with water, and fire, which never says, ‘Enough!’

17“ The eye that mocks a father,that scorns an aged mother,will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, will be eaten by the vultures.

18“ There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand:

19the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a young woman.

20“ This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I’ve done nothing wrong.’

21“ Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up:

22a servant who becomes king, a godless fool who gets plenty to eat,

23a contemptible woman who gets married, and a servant who displaces her mistress.

24“ Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise:

25Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;

26hyraxese are creatures of little power, yet they make their home in the crags;

27locusts have no king, yet they advance together in ranks;

28a lizard can be caught with the hand, yet it is found in kings’ palaces.

29“ There are three things that are stately in their stride,four that move with stately bearing:

30a lion, mighty among beasts, who retreats before nothing;

31a strutting rooster, a he-goat, and a king secure against revolt.

30: 15-31  “ Three things  .  .  . four” is a poetic way of saying the list is not complete. The writer of these proverbs is observing the world with delighted interest. This passage invites us to look at nature from the perspective of a keen observer, always curious to discover lessons for life.
