14. They may have many children, but the sword will kill them.The children who are left will never have enough to eat.
15. Then they will die and be buried.And the widows will not even cry for them.
16. The evil person may heap up silver like piles of dirt.He may have so many clothes they are like piles of clay.
17. But good people will wear what the evil person has gathered.And those who are not guilty of wrong will divide up his silver.
18. The house the evil person builds is like a spider’s web.It is like a hut that a guard builds.
19. The evil person is rich when he goes to bed, but he is rich for the last time.When he opens his eyes, everything is gone.
20. Fears come over him like a flood.A storm snatches him away in the night.
21. The east wind will carry him away, and then he is gone.It sweeps him out of his place.
22. The wind will hit the evil person without mercyas he tries to run away from its power.
23. It will be as if the wind is clapping its hands at him.It will whistle at him as he runs from his place.
