  • Proverbs 30:10-20 (ESV)

    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.”
