Day 343 Vampires and Leeches | Proverbs 30:13-15
Vampires and Leeches
13
They look proudly around,
casting disdainful glances.
14
They have teeth like swords
and fangs like knives.
They devour the poor from the earth
and the needy from among humanity.
15
The leech has two suckers
that cry out, “More, more!”
Yesterday, Agur spoke of two types of depraved people: those who harm slaves and those who dishonor and harm their parents.
Today, he describes two more: proud, arrogant individuals who are consumed by their own desires, and oppressors who prey on the poor, draining the life out of the needy like vampires.
Think about this: Sometimes these "devouring jaws" come with a veil of respectability, such as certain laws or policies that manipulate or oppress the poor and needy. It's important to recognize how seemingly respectable systems can still cause harm.
