Proverbs 30:15-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 The leech has two daughters;
“Give, give,” they cry.
Three things are never satisfied;
four never say, “Enough”:
16 Sheol, the barren womb,
the earth ever-thirsty for water,
and the fire that never says, “Enough.”(A)
Proverbs 30:15-16
New American Standard Bible
15 The leech has two daughters:
“Give” and “Give.”
There are three things that will not be satisfied,
Four that will not say, “Enough”:
16 [a](A)Sheol, the (B)infertile womb,
Earth that is never satisfied with water,
And fire that never says, “Enough.”
