Proverbs 30:14 in Context — Proverbs 30
12 Hay generación limpia en su opinión, si bien no se ha limpiado su inmundicia.
13 Hay generación cuyos ojos son altivos, y cuyos párpados son alzados.
14 Hay generación cuyos dientes son espadas, y sus muelas cuchillos, para devorar á los pobres de la tierra, y de entre los hombres á los menesterosos.
15 La sanguijuela tiene dos hijas [que se llaman], Trae, trae. Tres cosas hay que nunca se hartan; [aun] la cuarta nunca dice, Basta:
16 El sepulcro, y la matriz estéril, la tierra no harta de aguas, y el fuego que jamás dice, Basta.
