15The leech hath two daughters: Give, give. There are three things never satisfied; four which say not, It is enough:


In Context

12 there is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness;

13 there is a generation, how lofty are their eyes, how their eyelids are lifted up!

14 a generation whose teeth are swords, and their jaw-teeth knives, to devour the afflicted from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

15 The leech hath two daughters: Give, give. There are three things never satisfied; four which say not, It is enough:

16 Sheol, and the barren womb; the earth which is not filled with water, and the fire which saith not, It is enough.

17 The eye that mocketh at a father, and despiseth to obey a mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.
