Read in context

Proverbs 30:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 Do not slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you, and you will bear the guilt.

11 There is a generation of those who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.

12 There is a generation of those who are pure in their own eyes and yet unwashed of their filth.

13 There is a generation—how haughty are their eyes and pretentious are their glances—

14 there is a generation whose teeth are swords and whose jaws are knives, devouring the oppressed from the earth and the needy from among men.
