Proverbs 30:11-17

¹¹There is a generation of those who curse their fathers

and do not bless their mothers.

¹²There is a generation of those who are pure in their own eyes

and yet unwashed of their filth.

¹³There is a generation — how haughty are their eyes

and pretentious are their glances—

¹⁴there is a generation whose teeth are swords

and whose jaws are knives,

devouring the oppressed from the earth

and the needy from among men.

¹⁵The leech has two daughters:

Give and Give. There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, ‘Enough!’:

¹⁶Sheol, the barren womb, land never satisfied with water, and fire that never says, ‘Enough!’

¹⁷As for the eye that mocks a father

and scorns obedience to a mother,

may the ravens of the valley pluck it out

and young vultures devour it.
