14. But in their stomachs the food turns bitter,as bitter as any poison could be.
15. The wicked vomit up the wealth they stole;God takes it back, even out of their stomachs.
16. What evil people swallow is like poison;it kills them like the bite of a deadly snake.
17. They will not live to see rivers of olive oilor streams that flow with milk and honey.
18. They will have to give up all they have worked for;they will have no chance to enjoy their wealth,
19. because they oppressed and neglected the poorand seized houses someone else had built.
20. Their greed is never satisfied.
21. When they eat, there is nothing left over,but now their prosperity comes to an end.
22. At the height of their successall the weight of misery will crush them.
23. Let them eat all they want!God will punish them in fury and anger.
