Proverbs 30:15-16 The leech has two daughters. Give! Give! They cry. There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, Enough! 16 the grave, the barren womb, land, which is never satisfied with water, and fire, which never says, Enough.
These two blood-sucking mouths of the horseleech, which lived off the blood of its victim, are used to picture the insatiably greedy.
A leach or a bloodsucker hangs on until torn from the flesh. The greed for these things is over-emphasized in this “horseleech”.
Four illustrations of the greedy are given, all of which are parasitic in nature and characterize the heart of human greed.
The grave always has room for more. As long as one person is alive, there is room for that one more.
All women who have not been able to have a child are never satisfied. Many of them adopt because the desire for children is so great. The Hebrews thought it to be a curse. Most women feel cheated that they have not had children.
The earth drinks in all the water that is rained upon it.
The more wood that is put on the fire just makes it burn hotter. It will take all the wood you feed it.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
