1599 Geneva Bible
13 There is a generation whose eyes are haughty, and their eye lids are lifted up.
14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their chaws as knives to eat up the afflicted out of the earth, and the poor from among men.
15 The horseleech hath two [a]daughters which cry, Give, give. There be three things that will not be satisfied: yea, four that say not, It is enough.
