Proverbs 30:14-16

The Voice

¹⁴A kind whose very teeth cut like swords
and whose jaws sever like knives,
All the better to consume the poor of the earth
and the oppressed among men.

¹⁵The leech has twin suckers;
    “More blood! More blood,” they demand.
Three other things are just as insatiable,
    no, make it four that never say, “Enough”:
¹⁶The grave, the childless woman who cannot bear,
    the parched earth that cries for rain,
    and the fire, which never says, “Enough!”
