Proverbs 30:11-14
New American Standard Bible
11 There is a [a]kind of person who (A)curses his father
And does not bless his mother.
12 There is a [b]kind who is (B)pure in his own eyes,
Yet is not washed from his filthiness.
13 There is a [c]kind—oh how (C)lofty are his eyes!
And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.
14 There is a [d]kind of person whose (D)teeth are like swords
And his (E)jaw teeth like knives,
To (F)devour the poor from the earth
And the needy from among mankind.
