Proverbs 30:10-20

Revised Standard Version RSV

10 Do not slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.

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

12 There are those who are pure in their own eyes but are not cleansed of their filth.

13 There are those--how lofty are their eyes, how high their eyelids lift!

14 There are those whose teeth are swords, whose teeth are knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, the needy from among men.

15 The leech has two daughters; "Give, give," they cry. Three things are never satisfied; four never say, "Enough":

16 Sheol, the barren womb, the earth ever thirsty for water, and the fire which never says, "Enough."

17 The eye that mocks a father and scorns to obey a mother will be picked out by the ravens of the valley and eaten by the vultures.

18 Three things are too wonderful for me; four 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 on the high seas, and the way of a man with a maiden.

20 This is the way of an adulteress: she eats, and wipes her mouth, and says, "I have done no wrong."

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.’
