9The eye which saw him shall see him no more; Neither shall his place any more behold him.

10His children shall seek the favor of the poor, And his hands shall give back his wealth.

11His bones are full of his youth, But it shall lie down with him in the dust.

12Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, Though he hide it under his tongue,

13Though he spare it, and will not let it go, But keep it still within his mouth;

14Yet his food in his bowels is turned, It is the gall of asps within him.

15He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God will cast them out of his belly.
