11. There is a generation that curses their father,and does not bless its mother.
12. There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,and yet is not washed from its filthiness.
13. There is a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes!And their eyelids are lifted up.
14. There is a generation whose teeth are as swords,and their jaw teeth as knives,to devour the poor from off the earth,and the needy from among men.
15. The leech has two daughters,crying, “Give, give.” There are three things that are never satisfied,indeed, four things never say, “It is enough”:
16. the grave, the barren womb,the earth that is not filled with water,and the fire that never says, “It is enough.”
17. The eye that mocks at his father,and despises to obey his mother,the ravens of the valley will pick it out,and the young eagles will eat it.
18. There are three things which are too wonderful for me,indeed, four which I do not know:
19. the way of an eagle in the air,the way of a serpent on a rock,the way of a ship in the midst of the sea,and the way of a man with a maid.
