Bible verse
a servant who becomes king, a fool who is filled with food,
Proverbs 30:22 · BSB
The verses around it, from Proverbs 30.
18 There are three things too wonderful for me, four that I cannot understand:
19 the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship at sea, and the way of a man with a maiden.
20 This is the way of an adulteress: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’
21 Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up:
22 a servant who becomes king, a fool who is filled with food,
23 an unloved woman who marries, and a maidservant who supplants her mistress.
24 Four things on earth are small, yet they are exceedingly wise:
25 The ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;
26 the rock badgers are creatures of little power, yet they make their homes in the rocks;
