Proverbs 30:11-14
World English Bible
11 There is a generation that curses their father,
and doesn’t bless their mother.
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.
Proverbs 30:11-14
International Standard Version
11 Some people[a] curse their fathers
and won’t bless their mothers.
12 Some people[b] view themselves as pure,
but haven’t been cleansed from their own filth.
13 Some people[c]—what an arrogant look they have!—
raise their eyebrows haughtily.
14 Some people[d] have swords for teeth
and knives for fangs
to devour the afflicted from the earth
and the needy from among mankind.
