14. yet the food in his stomach turnsinto cobras’ venom inside him.
15. He swallows wealth but must vomit it up;God will force it from his stomach.
16. He will suck the poison of cobras;a viper’s fangs will kill him.
17. He will not enjoy the streams,the rivers flowing with honey and cream.
18. He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it;he doesn’t enjoy the profits from his trading.
19. For he oppressed and abandoned the poor;he seized a house he did not build.
20. Because his appetite is never satisfied, he does not let anything he desires escape.
21. Nothing is left for him to consume; therefore, his prosperity will not last.
22. At the height of his success distress will come to him; the full weight of misery will crush him.
23. When he fills his stomach,God will send His burning anger against him,raining it down on him while he is eating.
