Proverbs 30:21KJV·superscription
For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
Here is, I. An account of four things that are unsearchable, too wonderful to be fully known. And here, 1. The first three are natural things, and are only designed as comparisons for the illustration of the last. We cannot trace, (1.) An eagle in the air.
Commenting on Proverbs 30:18-23
John Gill Reformed Baptist
For three things the earth is disquieted,.... The inhabitants of it are made very uneasy; and for four which it cannot bear; they are a load and burden upon it, and are intolerable to those that dwell on it, and make them very uncomfortable.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Reformed
Pride and cruelty, the undue exaltation of those unfit to hold power, produce those vices which disquiet society (compare Pro 19:10; Pro 28:3).
