Proverbs 30:13-19 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

13. There are some—how haughty their eyes!how overbearing their glance!

14. There are some—their teeth are swords,their teeth are knives,Devouring the needy from the earth,and the poor from the human race.

15. The leech has two daughters:“Give,” and “Give.”Three things never get their fill,four never say, “Enough!”

16. Sheol, a barren womb,land that never gets its fill of water,and fire, which never says, “Enough!”

17. The eye that mocks a father,or scorns the homage due a mother,Will be plucked out by brook ravens;devoured by a brood of vultures.

18. Three things are too wonderful for me,yes, four I cannot understand:

19. The way of an eagle in the sky,the way of a serpent upon a rock,The way of a ship on the high seas,and the way of a man with a woman.
