Proverbs 30:15-16
New King James Version
15 The leech has two daughters—
Give and Give!
There are three things that are never satisfied,
Four never say, “Enough!”:
16 (A)The[a] grave,
The barren womb,
The earth that is not satisfied with water—
And the fire never says, “Enough!”

For his hands refuse to labor.

Proverbs 23:6-8
New King James Version
6 Do not eat the bread of (A)a[a] miser,
Nor desire his delicacies;
7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
“Eat and drink!” (B)he says to you,
But his heart is not with you.
8 The morsel you have eaten, you will vomit up,
And waste your pleasant words.
