Proverbs 30:11-16 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

11. There are some who curse their fathers,and do not bless their mothers.

12. There are some pure in their own eyes,yet not cleansed of their filth.

13. There are some—how haughty their eyes!how overbearing their glance!

14. There are some—their teeth are swords,their teeth are knives,Devouring the needy from the earth,and the poor from the human race.

15. The leech has two daughters:“Give,” and “Give.”Three things never get their fill,four never say, “Enough!”

16. Sheol, a barren womb,land that never gets its fill of water,and fire, which never says, “Enough!”
