"by a hateful woman when she has been taken in matrimony, and by a handmaid when she has been heir to her mistress. "

By three things, the earth is moved, and a fourth it is not able to sustain:
by a slave when he reigns, by the foolish when he has been filled with food,
by a hateful woman when she has been taken in matrimony, and by a handmaid when she has been heir to her mistress.
Four things are least upon the earth, and they are wiser than the wise:
the ants, an infirm people who provide food for themselves at the harvest,
the rabbit, a sickened people who make their bed upon the rock.
