10
Do not slander a slave to his master, Or he will 1curse you and you will be found guilty.
11
There is a akind of man who 2curses his father And does not bless his mother.
12
There is a bkind who is 3pure in his own eyes, Yet is not washed from his filthiness.
13
There is a ckind -oh how 4lofty are his eyes ! And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.
14
There is a dkind of man whose 5teeth are like swords And his 6jaw teeth like knives, To 7devour the afflicted from the earth And the needy from among men.
15
The leech has two daughters, "Give," "Give." There are three things that will not be satisfied, Four that will not say, "Enough ":
16
e8Sheol, and the 9barren womb, Earth that is never satisfied with water, And fire that never says, "Enough."
17
The eye that 10mocks a father And f11scorns a mother, The 12ravens of the valley will pick it out, And the young 13eagles will eat it.
18
There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Four which I do not understand :
19
The way of an 14eagle in the sky, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the middle of the sea, And the way of a man with a maid.
20
This is the way of an 15adulterous woman : She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, "I have done no wrong."
