Prov. 27:20• 20Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. (Prov. 27:20)

Hab. 2:5• 5Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people: (Hab. 2:5)
• Three things are never satisfied, namely, the unseen world, into which disembodied spirits are constantly descending; the barren womb; and the earth upon which rain falls incessantly somewhere. But four things say not, “It is enough.” Therefore to the three already given, he adds the fire. It devours until all that it can reach has been destroyed, when it has to cease, and is, in a sense, satisfied, but only because it must be; for were there more material to feed upon, it would go on destroying still. (“Proverbs Thirty” by H.A. Ironside)
• All of these are but pictures of the restless yearning, implanted in man’s bosom by the Fall. The world and all that it contains is not enough to fill and satisfy it. (“Proverbs Thirty” by H.A. Ironside)
