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 clean in their own eyes

but are not washed 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 fangs are knives,

to devour the poor from off the earth,

the needy from among mankind.

¹⁵ The leech has two daughters:

Give and Give.

Three things are never satisfied;

four never say, “Enough”:

¹⁶ Sheol, the barren womb,

the land never satisfied with water,

and the fire that 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 virgin.

²⁰ This is the way of an adulteress:

she eats and wipes her mouth

and says, “I have done no wrong.”
