Proverbs 30:10-20

New American Standard Bible NAS

10 Do not slander a slave to his master, Or he will curse you and you will be found guilty.

11 There is a kind of man who curses his father And does not bless his mother.

12 There is a kind who is pure in his own eyes, Yet is not washed from his filthiness.

13 There is a kind -oh how lofty are his eyes! And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.

14 There is a kind of man whose teeth are like swords And his jaw teeth like knives, To devour 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 Sheol, and the barren womb, Earth that is never satisfied with water, And fire that never says, "Enough."

17 The eye that mocks a father And scorns a mother, The ravens of the valley will pick it out, And the young eagles 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 eagle 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 adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, "I have done no wrong."

New International Version NIV

10 “Do not slander a servant to their master, or they will curse you, and you will pay for it.

11 “There are those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers;

12 those who are pure in their own eyes and yet are not cleansed of their filth;

13 those whose eyes are ever so haughty, whose glances are so disdainful;

14 those whose teeth are swords and whose jaws are set with knives to devour the poor from the earth and the needy from among mankind.

15 “The leech has two daughters. ‘Give! Give!’ they cry. “There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, ‘Enough!’:

16 the grave, the barren womb, land, which is never satisfied with water, and fire, which never says, ‘Enough!’

17 “The eye that mocks a father, that scorns an aged mother, will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, will be eaten by the vultures.

18 “There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand:

19 the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a young woman.

20 “This is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I’ve done nothing wrong.’
