Proverbs 30:18 In-Context

16 Hell and the mouth of the womb, and the earth which is not satisfied with water: and the fire never saith: It is enough.

17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.
