For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear:

For three (things) the earth is disquieted ... for a servant when he reigned (Proverbs 19:10 ); (and) a fool, when he is filled with meat - i:e., when he is in prosperity, and his appetites given loose rein to (Proverbs 30:20). Both become insolent by elevation, which they know not how to use (cf. 1 Timothy 3:6).
