Proverbs 30:15-17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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 which never says, “Enough.”^[b]

¹⁷ The eye that mocks a father
    and scorns to obey a mother
will be picked out by the ravens of the valley
    and eaten by the vultures.
