Charles Ellicott Commentary
"Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; And the eyes of man are never satisfied." — Proverbs 27:20 (ASV)
Hell and destruction— See above on Proverbs 15:11.
The eyes of man are never satisfied— Compare Ecclesiastes 1:8; Ecclesiastes 4:8. God would thus teach us that in Himself only can man find complete satisfaction. (1 Corinthians 2:9.)
