Contextual Overview
18 "There are three things which are too amazing for me, Four which I don't understand: 19 The way of an eagle in the air; The way of a serpent on a rock; The way of a ship in the midst of the sea; And the way of a man with a maiden. 20 So is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, 'I have done nothing wrong.' 21 "For three things the earth tremble, And under four, it can't bear up: 22 For a servant when he is king; A fool when he is filled with food; 23 For an unloved woman when she is married; And a handmaid who is heir to her mistress.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
There be three [things which] are too wonderful for me,.... Which were above his reach and comprehension; what he could not find out, nor account for, nor sufficiently admire;
yea, four things which I know not; the way of them; as follows.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Another enigma. The four things of Proverbs 30:16 agreed in the common point of insatiableness; the four now mentioned agree in this, that they leave no trace behind them.
Proverbs 30:19
The way of a man with a maid - The act of sin leaves no outward mark upon the sinners.
