And whose fangs are like knives,
bTo devour the poor from off the earth,
And the needy from among men.
Give and Give!
There are three things that are never satisfied,
Four never say, “Enough!”:
The barren womb,
The earth that is not satisfied with water—
And the fire never says, “Enough!”
And scorns obedience to his mother,
The ravens of the valley will pick it out,
And the young eagles will eat it.
| << Proverbs 30:14 | Proverbs 30:16 >> |
