15 The leech has two daughters: “Give, Give!”
Three things(A) are never satisfied;
four never say, “Enough!”:
16 Sheol;(B) a childless womb;(C)
earth, which is never satisfied with water;
and fire, which never says, “Enough!”

He enlarges his appetite like Sheol,
and like Death he is never satisfied.(A)
He gathers all the nations to himself;(B)
he collects all the peoples for himself.
