17. and never enjoy rivers flowingwith milk and honey.
18. Their hard work will resultin nothing gained,
19. because they cheated the poorand took their homes.
20. Greedy people want everythingand are never satisfied.
21. But when nothing remainsfor them to grab,they will be nothing.
22. Once they have everything,distress and despairwill strike them down,
23. and God will make them swallowhis blazing anger.
24. While running from iron spears,they will be killedby arrows of bronze,
25. whose shining tips go straightthrough their bodies.They will be trapped by terror,
26. and what they treasure mostwill be lost in the dark.God will send flamesto destroy them in their tentswith all their property.
27. The heavens and the earthwill testify against them,
28. and all their possessionswill be dragged offwhen God becomes angry.
29. This is what God has decidedfor those who are evil.
