14 aThere is a generation whose teeth are like swords,
And whose fangs are like knives,
bTo devour the poor from off the earth,
And the needy from among men.
And whose fangs are like knives,
bTo devour the poor from off the earth,
And the needy from among men.
15 The leech has two daughters—
Give and Give!
There are three things that are never satisfied,
Four never say, “Enough!”:
Give and Give!
There are three things that are never satisfied,
Four never say, “Enough!”:
16 aThe1 grave,
The barren womb,
The earth that is not satisfied with water—
And the fire never says, “Enough!”
The barren womb,
The earth that is not satisfied with water—
And the fire never says, “Enough!”
