Proverbs
Chapters 30:11-17
New International Version Anglicized
11‘There are those who curse their fathersand do not bless their mothers;
12those who are pure in their own eyesand yet are not cleansed of their filth;
13those whose eyes are ever so haughty,whose glances are so disdainful;
14those whose teeth are swordsand whose jaws are set with knivesto devour the poor from the earthand the needy from among the human race.
15‘The leech has two daughters.“Give! Give!” they cry.‘There are three things that are never satisfied,four that never say, “Enough!”:
16the grave, the barren womb,land, which is never satisfied with water,and fire, which never says, “Enough!”
17‘The eye that mocks a father,that scorns an aged mother,will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley,will be eaten by the vultures.
