Proverbs 30:12-16 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

12. Some people think they are pure, but they have done nothing to remove the filth of their sin.

13. Some people are so proud of themselves, and they look down on everyone else.

14. There are people whose teeth are like swords and their jaws like knives. They take everything they can from the poor.

15. Greedy people know only two things: “Give me,” and “Give me.” There are three other things that are never satisfied—really, four things that never have enough:

16. the place of death, a woman with no children, dry ground that needs rain, and a fire that will never stop by itself.
