8. He will fly away like a dream and will not be found; yes, he will be chased away as a vision of the night.
9. The eye which saw him will see him no more, neither will his [accustomed] place any more behold him.
10. The poor will oppress his children, and his hands will give back his [ill-gotten] wealth.
11. His bones are full of youthful energy, but it will lie down with him in the dust.
12. Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hides it under his tongue,
13. Though he is loath to let it go but keeps it still within his mouth,
14. Yet his food turns [to poison] in his stomach; it is the venom of asps within him.
15. He has swallowed down [his ill-gotten] riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God will cast them out of his belly.
16. He shall suck the poison of asps [which ill-gotten wealth contains]; the viper's tongue shall slay him.
