He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it;
he doesn’t enjoy the profits from his trading.

The hungry consume his harvest,
even taking it out of the thorns.
The thirsty pant for his children’s wealth.

For the company of the godless will have no children,
and fire will consume the tents of those who offer bribes.

death’s firstborn consumes his limbs.

Total darkness is reserved for his treasures.
A fire unfanned by human hands will consume him;
it will feed on what is left in his tent.

“Surely our opponents are destroyed,
and fire has consumed what they left behind.”

it would destroy my entire harvest.

if I have consumed its produce without payment
or shown contempt for its tenants,
