Contextual Overview

¹⁸ "There are three things that are too hard for me, really four I don't understand: ¹⁹ the way an eagle flies in the sky, the way a snake slides over a rock, the way a ship sails on the sea, and the way a man and a woman fall in love. ²⁰ "This is the way of a woman who takes part in adultery: She acts as if she had eaten and washed her face; she says, ‘I haven't done anything wrong.' ²¹ "There are three things that make the earth tremble, really four it cannot stand: ²² a servant who becomes a king, a foolish person who has plenty to eat, ²³ a hated woman who gets married, and a maid who replaces her mistress.

yea, four things which I know not; the way of them; as follows.
