11 There is a generation that curses their father,
    and doesn’t bless their mother.
12 There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes,
    yet are not washed from their filthiness.
13 There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes!
    Their eyelids are lifted up.
14 There is a generation whose teeth are like swords,
    and their jaws like knives,
    to devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from among men.
