Proverbs 30:11-14
Modern English Version
11 There is a generation that curses their father,
and does not bless its mother.
12 There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,
and yet is not washed from its filthiness.
13 There is a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes!
And their eyelids are lifted up.
14 There is a generation whose teeth are as swords,
and their jaw teeth as knives,
to devour the poor from off the earth,
and the needy from among men.
Proverbs 30:11-14

but from its filthiness it will not be cleansed.
13 There is a generation—how lofty are their eyes!
And their eyelids they will lift.

and its jawbones, knives,
in order to devour the poor from the earth[a]
