Proverbs 30:13-19 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

13. those whose eyes are ever so haughty,whose glances are so disdainful;

14. those whose teeth are swordsand whose jaws are set with knivesto devour the poor from the earthand the needy from among the human race.

15. ‘The leech has two daughters.“Give! Give!” they cry.‘There are three things that are never satisfied,four that never say, “Enough!”:

16. the grave, the barren womb,land, which is never satisfied with water,and fire, which never says, “Enough!”

17. ‘The eye that mocks a father,that scorns an aged mother,will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley,will be eaten by the vultures.

18. ‘There are three things that are too amazing 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 on the high seas,and the way of a man with a young woman.
