16. He sucks the poison of serpents;the fangs of a viper kill him.

17. He will not look on the streams,the rivers, which are the torrentsof honey and butter.

18. He gives back the ill-gotten gain without assimilating it;he will not enjoy the wealth from his commerce.

19. For he has oppressed the poor and abandoned them;he has seized a house which he did not build.

20. For he knows no satisfaction in his appetite;he does not let anything he desires escape.

21. “Nothing is left for him to devour;that is why his prosperity does not last.

22. In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress overtakes him.the full force of misery will come upon him.

23. “While he is filling his belly,God sends his burning anger against him,and rains down his blows upon him.

24. If he flees from an iron weapon,then an arrow from a bronze bow pierces him.
