Proverbs 30:11-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 There are those who curse their fathers
and do not bless their mothers.(A)
12 There are those who are pure in their own eyes,
yet are not cleansed of their filthiness.(B)
13 There are those—how lofty are their eyes,
how high their eyelids lift!—(C)
14 there are those whose teeth are swords,
whose teeth are knives
to devour the poor from off the earth,
the needy from among mortals.(D)
