A wicked generation curse their father, and do not bless their mother.
This bible verse has been derived from Brenton Septuagint Translation
If you can take a closer look at Proverbs chapter 30 from verse 10 to 12, and take a bible study you will understand verse 11 better which talks more about:
(11) There is a generation . . .--The words "there is" are not in the Hebrew, so it is left in doubt what is the predicate of these four evil "generations," whether Agur means by them to describe the men of his own time, or to say that such are unbearable. (Comp. Proverbs 30:21.) The same characters are to be found in the description of men of the "last days" (2Timothy 3:1 sqq).
- Ellicott's Commentary
Verses 11-31 contain six groups of four sentences each, each quaternion having a certain connection in language and concinnity of idea. First (vers. 11-14) come four generations that are evil - four being taken as the symbol of universality. The sins herein specified had become so general that they affected the whole generation. Verse 11. - There is a generation that eurseth their father. The words, "there is," are not found in the Hebrew, and the four subjects are without a predicate. Delitzsch calls the group "a mutilated priamel," which is explained to be a kind of gnomic poetry containing a series of antecedents or subjects followed by an epigrammatic conclusion applicable to all the antecedents. In the present ease the conclusion is wanting, so that we are left in doubt whether the author meant merely to de. scribe classes of men in his own time or to affirm that such are abominable.
- Pulpit commentary
…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.…
