15For the leech, there are two daughters;
“Give, give!” they cry.
As for three of these, they are not satisfied;
as for four, they do not say enough.
16Sheolg and barrenness of womb,
the land is not satisfied with water,
and fire does not say “enough!”

The leech has two daughters:
Give and Give.
Three things are never satisfied;
four never say, “Enough”:
Sheol, the barren womb,
the land never satisfied with water,
and the fire that never says, “Enough.”

The leech has two suckers
that cry out, “More, more!”
There are three things that are never satisfied—
no, four that never say, “Enough!”:
the grave,
the barren womb,
the thirsty desert,
the blazing fire.

The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give.
There are three things that are never satisfied,
Yea, four things say not, It is enough:
The grave; and the barren womb;
The earth that is not filled with water;
And the fire that saith not, It is enough.
