Proverbs 30:14 in Context — Proverbs 30
12 Há gente que é pura aos seus [próprios] olhos, mas que não foi lavada de sua imundície;
13 Há gente cujos olhos são arrogantes, e cujas sobrancelhas são levantadas;
14 Há gente cujos dentes são espadas, e cujos queixos são facas, para devorarem aos aflitos da terra aos aflitos, e aos necessitados dentre os homens.
15 A sanguessuga tem duas filhas: “Dá” e “Dá”; estas três coisas nunca se fartam, e quatro nunca dizem “É o suficiente”:
16 O Xeol, o útero estéril, a terra que não se farta de água, e o fogo que nunca diz estar satisfeito.
