Proverbs 30:15-17

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁵ The leech has two daughters: ‘Give, Give! ’
Three things^(A) are never satisfied;
four never say, ‘Enough! ’:
¹⁶ Sheol;^(B) a childless womb;^(C)
earth, which is never satisfied with water;
and fire, which never says, ‘Enough! ’

¹⁷ As for the eye that ridicules a father^(D)
and despises obedience to a mother,
may ravens of the valley pluck it out
and young vultures eat it.^(E)
