Proverbs 30:22

Four Things That Are Intolerable

²¹
Under three things the earth is disquieted and quakes,
And under four it cannot bear up:
²² 
Under a servant when he reigns,
Under a [spiritually blind] fool when he is filled with food,
²³
Under an unloved woman when she gets married,
And under a maidservant when she supplants her mistress.

Without Sense

1 Samuel 25:25

1 Samuel 25:36-38

Then Abigail came to Nabal, and he was holding a feast in his house [for the shearers], like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s mood was joyous because he was very drunk; so she told him nothing at all until the morning light.

When he brought David down, the Amalekites had disbanded and spread over all the land, eating and drinking and dancing because of all the great spoil they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.

Proverbs 28:3

A poor man who oppresses and exploits the lowly
Is like a sweeping rain which leaves no food.

Isaiah 3:4-5

And I will make mere boys their princes,
And capricious (impulsive, unpredictable) children will rule over them.
