Proverbs 30:11-14
English Standard Version
11 There are those[a] who (A)curse their fathers
and do not bless their mothers.
12 There are those who are (B)clean in their own eyes
but are not washed of their filth.
13 There are those—how (C)lofty are their eyes,
how high their eyelids lift!
14 There are those whose teeth are (D)swords,
whose (E)fangs are knives,
to (F)devour the poor from off the earth,
the needy from among mankind.
