16 the grave, the barren womb,

land, which is never satisfied with water,

and fire, which never says, ‘Enough!’

16 The grave; and the barren womb;

The earth that is not filled with water;

And the fire that saith not, It is enough.

16 the grave,

the barren womb,

the thirsty desert,

the blazing fire.

16 The grave,

The barren womb,

The earth that is not satisfied with water—

And the fire never says, “Enough!”

16 the cemetery, the childless mother,

the land that never gets enough rain,

and fire that never says, ‘I’ve had enough!’

16 Sheol; and the barren womb;

The earth that is not satisfied with water;

And the fire that saith not, Enough.

16 —Sheol, and the barren womb; the earth which is not filled with water, and the fire which saith not, It is enough.

16 the grave, 

a barren womb, 

a land that never gets enough water, 

a fire that does not say, “Enough!” 

16 Sheol; a childless womb;

earth, which is never satisfied with water;

and fire, which never says, “Enough!”

16 Sheol, the barren womb,

the earth ever thirsty for water,

and the fire that never says, “Enough.”

16 Sheol and barrenness of womb,

the land is not satisfied with water,

and fire does not say “enough!”

16 The first is the grave.

The second is a woman who can’t have a baby.

The third is land. It never gets enough water.

And the fourth is fire. It never says, ‘Enough!’

16 Sheol, and the barren womb,

Earth that is never satisfied with water,

And fire that never says, “Enough.”
