Proverbs 30:14

Four Kinds Of People

¹³ There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up. ¹⁴ There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, and their jaw teeth like knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men. ¹⁵ The leech has two daughters, crying, Give, give! Three things are never satisfied, yea, four things never say, Enough!
