12. “They enjoyed the sweet taste of wickedness,letting it melt under their tongue.
13. They savored it,holding it long in their mouths.
14. But suddenly the food in their bellies turns sour,a poisonous venom in their stomach.
15. They will vomit the wealth they swallowed.God won’t let them keep it down.
16. They will suck the poison of cobras.The viper will kill them.
17. They will never again enjoy streams of olive oilor rivers of milk and honey.
18. They will give back everything they worked for.Their wealth will bring them no joy.
19. For they oppressed the poor and left them destitute.They foreclosed on their homes.
20. They were always greedy and never satisfied.Nothing remains of all the things they dreamed about.
21. Nothing is left after they finish gorging themselves.Therefore, their prosperity will not endure.
