luke 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. - Free Bible Online

luke 16:24 "And he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue; for I am in agony in this flame.'


      24. Father Abraham--a well-founded, but unavailing, claim of natural descent (Lu 3:8; Joh 8:37).
      mercy on me--who never showed any (Jas 2:3).
      send Lazarus--the pining victim of his merciless neglect.
      that he may--take me hence? No; that he dares not to ask.
      dip . . . tongue--that is the least conceivable and the most momentary abatement of his torment; that is all. But even this he is told is (1) unreasonable.
