Proverbs 30:11-17

30:11 There is a generation who curse their fathers

and do not bless their mothers.

30:12 There is a generation who are pure in their own eyes

and yet are not washed from their filthiness.

30:13 There is a generation whose eyes are so lofty,

and whose eyelids are lifted up disdainfully.

30:14 There is a generation whose teeth are like swords

and whose molars are like knives

to devour the poor from the earth

and the needy from among the human race.

30:15 The leech has two daughters:

“Give! Give!”

There are three things that are never satisfied,

four that never say, “Enough” –

30:16 the grave, the barren womb,

land that is not satisfied with water,

and fire that never says, “Enough!”

30:17 The eye that mocks at a father

and despises obeying a mother –

the ravens of the valley will peck it out

and the young vultures will eat it.
