17. They will not admire the sparkling streamsor the rivers flowing with honey and cream.
18. They must give back what they worked for without eating it;they will not enjoy the money they made from their trading,
19. because they troubled the poor and left them with nothing.They have taken houses they did not build.
20. “Evil people never lack an appetite,and nothing escapes their selfishness.
21. But nothing will be left for them to eat;their riches will not continue.
22. When they still have plenty, trouble will catch up to them,and great misery will come down on them.
23. When the wicked fill their stomachs,God will send his burning anger against them,and blows of punishment will fall on them like rain.
24. The wicked may run away from an iron weapon,but a bronze arrow will stab them.
25. They will pull the arrows out of their backsand pull the points out of their livers.Terrors will come over them;
26. total darkness waits for their treasure.A fire not fanned by people will destroy themand burn up what is left of their tents.
