One verse per line

10 Don't slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you, and you will become guilty. 11 There is a generation that curses its father and does not bless its mother. 12 There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, yet is not washed from its filth. 13 There is a generation-how haughty its eyes and pretentious its looks.^a 14 There is a generation whose teeth are swords, whose fangs are knives, devouring the oppressed from the land and the needy from among mankind. 15 The leech has two daughters: Give, Give. Three things are never satisfied; four never say, "Enough!": 16 Sheol;^b a barren womb; earth, which is never satisfied with water; and fire, which never says, "Enough!" 17 As for the eye that ridicules a father and despises obedience to a mother, may ravens of the valley pluck it out and young vultures eat it. 18 Three things are beyond me; four I can't understand: 19 the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship at sea, and the way of a man with a young woman. 20 This is the way of an adulteress: she eats and wipes her mouth and says, "I've done nothing wrong."
