There was nothing left that he didn't devour, therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress shall overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery shall come on him.

All darkness is laid up for his treasures. An unfanned fire shall devour him. It shall consume that which is left in his tent.

When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.

The increase of his house shall depart. They shall rush away in the day of his wrath.

He shall flee from the iron weapon. The bronze arrow shall strike him through.

The heavens shall reveal his iniquity. The earth shall rise up against him.

that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?

"Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue,

He shall suck cobra venom. The viper's tongue shall kill him.

He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found. Yes, he shall be chased away like a vision of the night.

yet he shall perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him shall say, 'Where is he?'

He shall not look at the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter.

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

though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;

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

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

Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,

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

The eye which saw him shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more see him.
