Proverbs

¹⁰Do not accuse and hurt a servant before his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty [of adding to the burdens of the lowly]. ¹¹There is a class of people who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers. ¹²There is a class of people who are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their own filth. ¹³There is a class of people–oh, how lofty are their eyes and their raised eyelids! ¹⁴There is a class of people whose teeth are as swords and whose fangs as knives, to devour the poor from the earth and the needy from among men. ¹⁵The leech has two daughters, crying, Give, give! There are three things that are never satisfied, yes, four that do not say, It is enough: ¹⁶Sheol (the place of the dead), the barren womb, the earth that is not satisfied with water, and the fire that says not, It is enough.
