This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_30:11 [There is] a generation [that] curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
Ver. 11. There is a generation that curseth their father.] An evil and an adulterous generation, doubtless; a bastardly brood, {a} as were those in the gospel; "a generation of vipers," {b} that make their way into the world by their dams’ death. These monsters of men are doomed to destruction. {Lev_20:9} Hell gapes for them, as also it doth for such as revile or denigrate their masters, magistrates, ministers, benefactors, ancients. There is a certain plant which our herbalists call Herbam impiam, or wicked cudweed, {c} whose younger branches still yield flowers to overtop the older. Such weeds grow too rife abroad; it is an ill soil that produceth them. But of this before.
{a} ãåíåá ìïé÷áëéò . {Mat_12:39}
{b} ãåíåá á÷éäíùí . {Mat_3:7}
{c} The common name for the genus Gnaphalium of composite plants, having chaffy scales surrounding the flower heads; originally proper to G. sylvaticum; extended to other plants, of allied genera, or similar appearance.
