Bible verse
Sheol, the barren womb, land never satisfied with water, and fire that never says, ‘Enough!’
Proverbs 30:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Proverbs 30.
12 There is a generation of those who are pure in their own eyes and yet unwashed of their filth.
13 There is a generation—how haughty are their eyes and pretentious are their glances—
14 there is a generation whose teeth are swords and whose jaws are knives, devouring the oppressed from 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 that never say, ‘Enough!’:
16 Sheol, the barren womb, land never satisfied with water, and fire that never says, ‘Enough!’
17 As for the eye that mocks a father and scorns obedience to a mother, may the ravens of the valley pluck it out and young vultures devour it.
18 There are three things too wonderful for me, four that I cannot understand:
19 the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship at sea, and the way of a man with a maiden.
20 This is the way of an adulteress: She eats and wipes her mouth and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’
