Sprueche 30:14 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 30:14

[There is] a generation whose teeth [are as] swords
As sharp as swords; like such the beasts of prey have; cruel, barbarous, and inhuman creatures; see ( Psalms 57:4 ) ; and their jaw teeth as knives;
exceeding sharp and biting: to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from [among] men:
by their tyranny, oppression, and cruelty, to deprive them of the little they have; and even to take away their lives from them, and utterly destroy them; of this disposition are all tyrants and persecutors: such were Rome Pagan, compared to a red dragon in the times of the ten Heathen persecutions; and such is Rome Papal, signified by a beast, like a leopard, bear, and lion; and which has been drunk with the blood of the saints.

Sprueche 30:14 In-Context

12 ein Geschlecht, das rein ist in seinen Augen und doch nicht gewaschen von seinem Unflat;
13 ein Geschlecht, wie stolz sind seine Augen, und seine Wimpern erheben sich! -
14 ein Geschlecht, dessen Zähne Schwerter sind, und Messer sein Gebiß, um wegzufressen die Elenden von der Erde und die Dürftigen aus der Menschen Mitte!
15 Der Blutegel hat zwei Töchter: gib her! gib her! Drei sind es, die nicht satt werden, vier, die nicht sagen: Genug!
16 Der Scheol und der verschlossene Mutterleib, die Erde, welche des Wassers nicht satt wird, und das Feuer, das nicht sagt: Genug!
