10. Their children will have to pay back the poor,and they will have to give up their wealth.
11. They had the strength of their youth in their bones,but it will lie with them in the dust of death.
12. “Evil may taste sweet in their mouths,and they may hide it under their tongues.
13. They cannot stand to let go of it;they keep it in their mouths.
14. But their food will turn sour in their stomachs,like the poison of a snake inside them.
15. They have swallowed riches, but they will spit them out;God will make them vomit their riches up.
16. They will suck the poison of snakes,and the snake’s fangs will kill them.
17. They will not admire the sparkling streamsor the rivers flowing with honey and cream.
18. They must give back what they worked for without eating it;they will not enjoy the money they made from their trading,
19. because they troubled the poor and left them with nothing.They have taken houses they did not build.
20. “Evil people never lack an appetite,and nothing escapes their selfishness.
