Proverbs 30:15-16
New Living Translation
15 The leech has two suckers
that cry out, “More, more!”[a]
There are three things that are never satisfied—
no, four that never say, “Enough!”:
16 the grave,[b]
the barren womb,
the thirsty desert,
the blazing fire.
Proverbs 30:15-16
International Standard Version
15 The leech has two daughters:
“Give” and “Give”.
Three things will never be satisfied;
four will never say “Enough”—
16 The afterlife,[a] the barren womb,
earth that still demands water,
and fire—they never say, “Enough”.
