And Jehovah answered me and said, Write the vision, and make it plain on the tablets, that he who reads it may run.

Shall not all these lift up a parable against him, and a mocking riddle to him, and say, Woe to him who increases what is not his! Until when, then, shall he load the pledges on himself?

Shall not those who strike you rise up suddenly, and those who shake you awake, and you become a prize to them?

Because you have stripped many nations, all the rest of the people shall strip you; because of men's blood, and the violence of the land, of the city, and of all who dwell in it.

Woe to him who robs evil booty for his house, to set his nest on high, to be delivered from the hand of evil!

Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!

Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring out your wineskin, and also making him drunk, that you may look on their nakedness!

Woe to him who says to the wood. Awake! To a dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and no breath is in its midst.
