11 There is a generation that curses its father

and does not bless its mother.b

12 There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,c

yet is not washed from its filth.

13 There is a generation—how haughty its eyes

and pretentious its looks.A

14 There is a generation whose teeth are swords,d

whose fangs are knives,e

devouring the oppressed from the landf

and the needy from among mankind.
