13 There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! Their eyelids are lifted up.
14 There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, And their jaws like knives, To devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from among men.
15 "The leach has two daughters: `Give, give.` "There are three things that are never satisfied; Four that don`t say, `Enough:`
16 Sheol, the barren womb; The earth that is not satisfied with water; The fire that doesn`t say, `Enough;`
17 And the eye that mocks at his father, And scorns obedience to his mother: The ravens of the valley shall pick it out, The young eagles shall eat it.
18 "There are three things which are too amazing for me, Four which I don`t understand:
19 The way of an eagle in the air; The way of a serpent on a rock; The way of a ship in the midst of the sea; And the way of a man with a maiden.
