16  ^eSheol, the barren womb,

the land never satisfied with water,

and the fire that never says, “Enough.”

14  Therefore Sheol has enlarged its appetite

and opened its mouth beyond measure,

and the nobility of Jerusalem¹ and her multitude will go down,

her revelers and he who exults in her.

5  “Moreover, ^swine¹ is a traitor,

an arrogant man who is never at rest.²

His greed is as wide as ^tSheol;

like death he has never enough.

He gathers for himself all nations

and collects as his own all peoples.”
