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

16He shall suck the poison of asps: The viper`s tongue shall slay him.

17He shall not look upon the rivers, The flowing streams of honey and butter.

18That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down; According to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.

19For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; He hath violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.

20Because he knew no quietness within him, He shall not save aught of that wherein he delighteth.

21There was nothing left that he devoured not; Therefore his prosperity shall not endure.
