“He ^(A)returns what he has attained
And cannot swallow it;
As to the riches of his trading,
He cannot even enjoy them.

“For he has ^(B)oppressed and forsaken the poor;
He has seized a house which he has not built.

“Because he knew no quiet ^(a)within him,
He does ^(C)not retain anything he desires.

“Nothing remains ^(b)for him to devour,
Therefore ^(D)his prosperity does not endure.
