15 The leech[a] has two daughters;
    ‘Give, give,’ they cry.
Three things are never satisfied;
    four never say, ‘Enough’:
16 Sheol, the barren womb,
    the earth ever thirsty for water,
    and the fire that never says, ‘Enough.’[b]

    and scorns to obey a mother
will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley
    and eaten by the vultures.
