Proverbios 27:20

20 Así como la Muerte y la Destrucción
nunca se sacian,
el deseo del hombre nunca queda satisfecho.

Proverbios 27:20 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 27:20

Hell and destruction are never full
The grave, as the word used often signifies; and which may be called "destruction", because bodies laid in it are soon corrupted and destroyed; and though bodies are cast into it and devoured by it, it is ready for more; it is one of the four things which never have enough. The place where Gog is said to be buried is called Hamongog, the multitude of Gog, ( Ezekiel 39:11 ) ; and by the Septuagint there Polyandrion, which is the name the Greeks give to a burying place, because many men are buried there; and with the Latins the dead are called Plures F15, the many, or the more; and yet the grave is never satisfied with them, ( Proverbs 30:16 ) . Or hell, the place of everlasting damnation and destruction, is meant, which has received multitudes of souls already, and where there is room for more, nor will it be full until the last day; so the eyes of man are never satisfied;
as not the eyes of his body with seeing corporeal objects, but still are desirous of seeing more, and indeed everything that is to be seen, and are never glutted, ( Ecclesiastes 1:8 ) ; so neither the eyes of the carnal mind, or the lusts of it, which are insatiable things, let the objects of them be what they will; as in an ambitious man, a covetous person, or an unclean one.

Proverbios 27:20 In-Context

18 Como a los que cuidan de la higuera se les permite comer del fruto,
así serán recompensados los empleados que protegen los intereses de su patrón.
19 Así como el rostro se refleja en el agua,
el corazón refleja a la persona tal como es.
20 Así como la Muerte y la Destrucción
nunca se sacian,
el deseo del hombre nunca queda satisfecho.
21 El fuego prueba la pureza del oro y de la plata,
pero la persona es probada por las alabanzas que recibe.
22 Es imposible separar al necio de su necedad,
aunque lo muelas como al grano en un mortero.
