Proverbs 30:12-19 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

12. A generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.

13. A generation, whose eyes are lofty, and their eyelids lifted up on high.

14. A generation, that for teeth hath swords, and grindeth with their jaw teeth, to devour the needy from off the earth, and the poor from among men.

15. The horseleech hath two daughters that say: Bring, bring. There are three things that never are satisfied, and the fourth never saith: It is enough.

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.

18. Three things are hard to me, and the fourth I am utterly ignorant of.

19. The 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 in youth.
