Proverbs 30:14

Four Kinds Of People

¹³ [There is] a generation--how lofty [are] their eyes! And their eyelids they will lift. ¹⁴ [There is] a generation whose teeth [are] swords, and its jawbones, knives, [in order] to devour the poor from the earth and the needy from humankind. ¹⁵ For the leech, [there are] two daughters; "Give, give!" [they cry]. As for three of these, they are not satisfied; as for four, they do not say enough.
