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!
There are three things that are never satisfied,
Four never say, “Enough!”:

The barren womb,
The earth that is not satisfied with water—
And the fire never says, “Enough!”
