20. Because his desire and greed knew no quietness within him, he will not save anything of that in which he delights.
21. There was nothing left that he did not devour; therefore his prosperity will not endure.
22. In the fullness of his sufficiency [in the time of his great abundance] he shall be poor and in straits; every hand of everyone who is in misery shall come upon him [he is but a wretch on every side].
23. When he is about to fill his belly [as in the wilderness when God sent the quails], God will cast the fierceness of His wrath upon him and will rain it upon him while he is eating. [Num. 11:33; Ps. 78:26-31.]
24. He will flee from the iron weapon, but the bow of bronze shall strike him through.
25. [The arrow] is drawn forth and it comes out after passing through his body; yes, the glittering point comes out of his gall. Terrors march in upon him;
26. Every misfortune is laid up for his treasures. A fire not blown by man shall devour him; it shall consume what is left in his tent [and it shall go ill with him who remains there].
27. The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.
28. The produce and increase of his house will go into exile [with the victors], dragged away in the day of [God's] wrath.
