Proverbs 30:13

Four Kinds Of People

¹² There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,
yet is not washed from its filth.
¹³ There is a generation—how haughty its eyes
and pretentious its looks.
¹⁴ There is a generation whose teeth are swords,
whose fangs are knives,
devouring the oppressed from the land
and the needy from among mankind.

as that of a god.
