Prayer based on Proverbs 27:20. Themes: Death, Greed, Satisfaction

Verse: Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; and a man’s eyes are never satisfied.
Proverbs 27:20

This is a Command. The verse is warning the reader that both Sheol (the place of the dead) and Abaddon (destruction) are insatiable, and that a man’s eyes (desires) are also insatiable. The implication is that the reader should be cautious and not give in to their insatiable desires, but instead seek contentment and satisfaction in other ways.
