New International Version (NIV)

20Death and Destruction are never satisfied,

and neither are human eyes.

20 Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied,

Nor are the eyes of a person ever satisfied.

20Sheol (the place of the dead) and Abaddon (the underworld) are never satisfied;

Nor are the eyes of man ever satisfied. [Prov 30:16; Hab 2:5]

20Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied;

so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

20Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied;

And the eyes of man are never satisfied.

20The graue and destruction can neuer be full, so the eyes of man can neuer be satisfied.

20Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied;

and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.

20Death and the Grave are never satisfied.

People’s eyes are never satisfied either.

20The deep hole of death always wants more dead people to fill it.

In the same way, a person wants to have everything that he sees.

20Sheol and destruction are not satisfied, || And the eyes of man are not satisfied.
