Monday
Proverbs 30:15, 16

Tuesday
Proverbs 30:17
The eye that mocks a father and despises a mother will be plucked out by ravens of the valley and eaten by vultures.
Wednesday
Proverbs 30:18, 19
There are three things that amaze me--no, four things I do not understand: how an eagle glides through the sky; how a snake slithers on a rock; how a ship navigates the ocean, how a man loves a woman.
Thursday
Proverbs 30:20
Equally amazing is how an adulterous woman can satisfy her sexual appetite, shrug her shoulders, and then say, “What’s wrong with that?”
Friday
Proverbs 30:21-23
There are three things that make the earth tremble--no, four it cannot endure: a slave who becomes a king; an overbearing fool who prospers; a bitter woman who finally gets a husband; a servant girl who supplants her mistress.They devour the poor with teeth as sharp as swords or knives. They destroy the needy from the face of the earth.
