Pro 30:17 | MHM | STEP | v. 17 : The passage gives a strong warning to children who disrespect their parents. God will judge not only those who curse their parents, but also those who mock or roll their eyes at them. Even a scornful look or refusing to obey, especially to a mother, is noticed by God. The punishment for such disrespect is severe: The eye that mocks a father or scorns to obey a mother will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, and eaten by vultures .
