Proverbs 30:20-23
The Message

20 Here’s how a prostitute operates:
    she has sex with her client,
Takes a bath,
    then asks, “Who’s next?”

Four Intolerables

21-23 Three things are too much for even the earth to bear,
    yes, four things shake its foundations—

        when the janitor becomes the boss,
        when a fool gets rich,
        when a prostitute is voted “woman of the year,”
        when a “girlfriend” replaces a faithful wife.
