CLV(i)
12 Even if evil is sweet in his mouth, And he suppresses it under his tongue,
13 Though he spares it and does not forsake it, And he holds fast to it in the midst of his palate,
14 Yet his bread shall turn sour in his bowels, The bile of cobras within him.
15 The estate he has swallowed down, he shall vomit it up; El shall evict it from his belly.
16 He shall suck the poison of cobras; The tongue of a puff-adder shall kill him.
17 He shall not see the rillets, The streams of watercourses flowing with honey and clotted cream.
18 He must return the fruit of his labor and not swallow it down, And in the estate of his commerce, he has no enjoyment.
19 For he has maltreated, he has forsaken the poor; He has pillaged a house which he did not build.
20 For he has not known ease from the craving of his belly; From his coveting, he has not tried to escape.
21 There was nothing surviving for him as food. Therefore his good state cannot hope to last.
22 When his affluence is full there shall be distress for him; Every means of misery shall come upon him.
23 It shall come to be, in order to fill his belly, That He shall send against him the heat of His anger And shall rain it upon him as his nourishment.
