17. He looks not on streams, the rivers flowing with honey and cream.
18. He is giving back what he laboured for, and does not eat it – like wealth from his trade, but he does not enjoy.
19. For he has oppressed, he has forsaken the poor, he has seized a house which he did not build.
20. For he shall not know ease in his innermost, neither save what he desires.
21. There is no left-over after he has eaten, therefore his good does not last.
22. With all his plenty he is in distress; the hand of every labourer comes against him.
23. It shall be, at the filling of his stomach, that He casts on him His burning wrath, and rains it down on him while he is eating.
