Sheol, the barren womb; the earth that is not satisfied with water; and the fire that doesn’t say, ‘Enough.’
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
Sheol, the barren womb, the earth that is not satisfied with water, and the fire that doesn’t say, ‘Enough!’
Sheol, the barren womb, land never satisfied with water, and fire that never says, ‘Enough!’
The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
Sheol; and the barren womb; The earth that is not satisfied with water; And the fire that saith not, Enough.
The underworld, and the woman without a child; the earth which never has enough water, and the fire which never says, Enough.
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · Verses 15–17
Cruelty and covetousness are two daughters of the horseleech, that still cry, "Give, give," and they are continually uneasy to themselves. Four things never are satisfied, to which these devourers are compared. Those are never rich that are always coveting. And many who have come to a bad end, have owned that their wicked courses began by despising their parents' authority.
