14 There are some—their teeth are swords,their teeth are knives,Devouring the needy from the earth,and the poor from the human race.
15 The leech has two daughters:“Give,” and “Give.”Three things never get their fill,four never say, “Enough!”
16 Sheol, a barren womb,land that never gets its fill of water,and fire, which never says, “Enough!”
17 The eye that mocks a father,or scorns the homage due a mother,Will be plucked out by brook ravens;devoured by a brood of vultures.
18 Three things are too wonderful for me,yes, four I cannot understand:
19 The way of an eagle in the sky,the way of a serpent upon a rock,The way of a ship on the high seas,and the way of a man with a woman.
20 This is the way of an adulterous woman:she eats, wipes her mouth,and says, “I have done no wrong.”
