Proverbs 30:11-14

Expanded Bible

¹¹ “Some people curse their fathers
    and do not bless their mothers [Ex. 20:12; 21:17].
¹² Some people think they are pure,
    but they ·are not really free from evil [^Lhave not cleaned off their own excrement; Deut. 23:12–14].
¹³ Some people have such ·a proud look [haughty eyes]!
    They ·look down on others [^Lraise their eyebrows; Ps. 131].
¹⁴ Some people have teeth like swords;
    their jaws ·seem full of knives [are a butcher’s knife; ^Ctheir words hurt people].
They want to ·remove [^Lconsume] the poor from the earth
    and the needy from the ·land [or humanity].
