Proverbios 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.

Proverbios 30:14 In-Context

12 gente que se tiene por pura, pero no está limpia de su inmundicia;
13 gente de ojos altivos, cuyos párpados se alzan en arrogancia;
14 gente cuyos dientes son espadas, y sus muelas cuchillos, para devorar a los pobres de la tierra, y a los menesterosos de entre los hombres.
15 La sanguijuela tiene dos hijas, que dicen: ¡Dame! ¡Dame! Hay tres cosas que no se saciarán, y una cuarta que no dirá: ¡Basta!
16 El Seol, la matriz estéril, la tierra que jamás se sacia de agua, y el fuego que nunca dice: ¡Basta!
