Proverbs 30:11-31
11There is a generation that curse their father,And bless not their mother.12There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes,Andyetare not washed from their filthiness.13There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes!And their eyelids are lifted up.14There is a generation whose teeth areasswords, and their jaw teethasknives,To devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.15The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give.There are three things that are never satisfied,Yea, four that say not, Enough:16Sheol; and the barren womb;The earth that is not satisfied with water;And the fire that saith not, Enough.17The eye that mocketh at his father,And despiseth to obey his mother,The ravens of the valley shall pick it out,And the young eagles shall eat it.18There are three things which are too wonderful for me,Yea, four which I know not:19The way of an eagle in the air;The way of a serpent upon a rock;The way of a ship in the midst of the sea;And the way of a man with a maiden.20So is the way of an adulterous woman;She eateth, and wipeth her mouth,And saith, I have done no wickedness.21For three things the earth doth tremble,And for four, whichit cannot bear:22For a servant when he is king;And a fool when he is filled with food;23For an odious woman when she is married;And a handmaid that is heir to her mistress.24There are four things which are little upon the earth,But they are exceeding wise:25The ants are a people not strong,Yet they provide their food in the summer;26The conies are but a feeble folk,Yet make they their houses in the rocks;27The locusts have no king,Yet go they forth all of them by bands;28The lizard taketh hold with her hands,Yet is she in kings’ palaces.29There are three things which are stately in their march,Yea, four which are stately in going:30The lion, which is mightiest among beasts,And turneth not away for any;31The greyhound; the he-goat also;And the king against whom there is no rising up.
