Proverbs 30:14

Four Kinds Of People

¹³ There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! Their eyelids are lifted up. ¹⁴ There is a kind of man whose teeth are like swords
And his jaw teeth like knives,
To devour the afflicted from the earth
And the needy from among men.
¹⁵ The leach has two daughters. Each cry: Give, Give! There are three things that are never satisfied, yes; even four things never say: It is enough!
