Proverbs 30:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 The horseleech hath two [a]daughters which cry, Give, give. There be three things that will not be satisfied: yea, four that say not, It is enough.
16 The grave, and the barren womb, the earth, that cannot be satisfied with water, and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
17 The eye that mocketh his father and despiseth the instruction of his mother, let the ravens [b]of the valley pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.
