Proverbs 30:12-17 World English Bible (WEB)

12. There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness.

13. There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! Their eyelids are lifted up.

14. There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, and their jaws like knives, to devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from among men.

15. “The leach has two daughters: ‘Give, give.’ “There are three things that are never satisfied; four that don’t say, ‘Enough:’

16. Sheol, the barren womb; the earth that is not satisfied with water; and the fire that doesn’t say, ‘Enough.’

17. “The eye that mocks at his father, and scorns obedience to his mother: the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, the young eagles shall eat it.
