14. There is a generation whose teeth are like swordsand whose molars are like knivesto devour the poor from the earthand the needy from among the human race.
15. The leech has two daughters:“Give! Give!”There are three things that are never satisfied,four that never say, “Enough” –
16. the grave, the barren womb,land that is not satisfied with water,and fire that never says, “Enough!”
17. The eye that mocks at a fatherand despises obeying a mother – the ravens of the valley will peck it outand the young vultures will eat it.
18. There are three things that are too wonderful for me,four that I do not understand:
19. the way of an eagle in the sky,the way of a snake on a rock,the way of a ship in the sea,and the way of a man with a woman.
