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

15 The leech has two daughters,
“Give,” “Give.”
There are three things that will not be satisfied,
Four that will not say, “Enough”:
16 [b](D)Sheol, and the (E)barren womb,
Earth that is never satisfied with water,
And fire that never says, “Enough.”
