Proverbs 30:15-17
Good News Translation
15 A leech has two daughters, and both are named “Give me!”
There are four things that are never satisfied:
16 the world of the dead,
a woman without children,
dry ground that needs rain,
and a fire burning out of control.
17 If you make fun of your father or despise your mother in her old age,[a] you ought to be eaten by vultures or have your eyes picked out by wild ravens.
