Proverbs 30:18

There are three things that are too wonderful for me, ¹  four that I do not understand:

"There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand:

There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Four which I do not understand:

There are three things that amaze me––no, four things I do not understand:

Three things amaze me, no, four things I'll never understand--

There are three things, the wonder of which overcomes me, even four things outside my knowledge:

Three things are too wonderful for me; four I do not understand:

There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Yes, four which I do not understand:

There are three things that are too wonderful for me, ¹  four that I do not understand:

¹ tn The form נִפְלְאוּ (niflÿ’u) is the Niphal perfect from פָּלָא (pala’); the verb means “to be wonderful; to be extraordinary; to be surpassing”; cf. NIV “too amazing.” The things mentioned are things that the sage finds incomprehensible (e.g., Gen 18:14; Judg 13:18; Ps 139:6; and Isa 9:6[5]). The sage can only admire these wonders – he is at a loss to explain them.
