10. and their children will make good what they stole from the poor.
11. Their bodies used to be young and vigorous,but soon they will turn to dust.
12-13. Evil tastes so good to themthat they keep some in their mouths to enjoy its flavour.
14. But in their stomachs the food turns bitter,as bitter as any poison could be.
15. The wicked vomit up the wealth they stole;God takes it back, even out of their stomachs.
16. What evil people swallow is like poison;it kills them like the bite of a deadly snake.
17. They will not live to see rivers of olive oilor streams that flow with milk and honey.
18. They will have to give up all they have worked for;they will have no chance to enjoy their wealth,
19. because they oppressed and neglected the poorand seized houses someone else had built.
20. Their greed is never satisfied.
21. When they eat, there is nothing left over,but now their prosperity comes to an end.
22. At the height of their successall the weight of misery will crush them.
23. Let them eat all they want!God will punish them in fury and anger.
24. When they try to escape from an iron sword,a bronze bow will shoot them down.
25. Arrows stick through their bodies;the shiny points drip with their blood,and terror grips their hearts.
26. Everything they have saved is destroyed;a fire not lit by human handsburns them and all their families.
27. Heaven reveals their sin,and the earth gives testimony against them.
