15 The leech has two daughters: “Give, give!”
    There are three things that are never satisfied,
    four that never say, “Enough!”:
16         the grave[a] and a barren womb,
        a land never filled with water,
        and fire that doesn’t say, “Enough!”

    and rejects obedience to a mother,
    may the ravens of the river valley peck it out,
    and the eagle’s young eat it.
