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.
29. This is the wicked man's portion from God, and the heritage appointed to him by God.
