14 There is a [a]kind of person whose (A)teeth are like swords
And his (B)jaw teeth like knives,
To (C)devour the poor from the earth
And the needy from among mankind.

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 [b](D)Sheol, the (E)infertile womb,
Earth that is never satisfied with water,
And fire that never says, “Enough.”
