11There is a generation who put a curse on their father, and do not give a blessing to their mother.
12There is a generation who seem to themselves to be free from sin, but are not washed from their unclean ways.
13There is a generation, O how full of pride are their eyes! O how their brows are lifted up!
14There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, their strong teeth like knives, for the destruction of the poor from the earth, and of those who are in need from among men.
15The night-spirit has two daughters, Give, give. There are three things which are never full, even four which never say, Enough:
16The underworld, and the woman without a child; the earth which never has enough water, and the fire which never says, Enough.
17The eye which makes sport of a father, and sees no value in a mother when she is old will be rooted out by the ravens of the valley, and be food for the young eagles.
