20 Death and Destruction
20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, and never satisfied are the eyes of man.
20 Hell has a voracious appetite, and lust just never quits.
20 Hell and Destruction are never full; So the eyes of man are never satisfied.
20 Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so human desire is never satisfied.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 27:20
Commentary on Proverbs 27:20
(Read Proverbs 27:20)
Two things are here said to be never satisfied, death and sin. The appetites of the carnal mind for profit or pleasure are always desiring more. Those whose eyes are ever toward the Lord, are satisfied in him, and shall for ever be so.
