6. Shall not all these take up a taunt against him,and make a riddle about him, saying:Ah! you who store up what is not yours—how long can it last!—you who load yourself down with collateral.
7. Will your debtors not rise suddenly?Will they not awake, those who make you tremble?You will become their spoil!
8. Because you plundered many nations,the remaining peoples shall plunder you;Because of the shedding of human blood,and violence done to the land,to the city and to all who live in it.
9. Ah! you who pursue evil gain for your household,setting your nest on highto escape the reach of misfortune!
10. You have devised shame for your household,cutting off many peoples, forfeiting your own life;
11. For the stone in the wall shall cry out,and the beam in the frame shall answer it!
12. Ah! you who build a city by bloodshed,and who establish a town with injustice!
13. Is this not from the Lord of hosts:peoples toil for what the flames consume,and nations grow weary for nothing!
14. But the earth shall be filledwith the knowledge of the Lord’s glory,just as the water covers the sea.
15. Ah! you who give your neighborsthe cup of your wrath to drink, and make them drunk,until their nakedness is seen!
