13 A generation--how high are their eyes, Yea, their eyelids are lifted up.
14 A generation--swords are their teeth, And knives--their jaw-teeth, To consume the poor from earth, And the needy from among men.
15 To the leech are two daughters, `Give, give, Lo, three things are not satisfied, Four have not said `Sufficiency;'
16 Sheol, and a restrained womb, Earth--it is not satisfied with water, And fire--it hath not said, `Sufficiency,'
17 An eye that mocketh at a father, And despiseth to obey a mother, Dig it out do ravens of the valley, And eat it do young eagles.
