Proverbs 30:15-16
Lexham English Bible
15 For the leech, there are two daughters;
“Give, give!” they cry.
As for three of these, they are not satisfied;
as for four, they do not say enough.
16 Sheol[a] and barrenness of womb,
the land is not satisfied with water,
and fire does not say “enough!”

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”.
