Proverbs 30:14-16
Lexham English Bible
14 There is a generation whose teeth are swords,
and its jawbones, knives,
in order to devour the poor from the earth[a]
and the needy from humankind.
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[b] and barrenness of womb,
the land is not satisfied with water,
and fire does not say “enough!”
