I have removed the boundaries of peoples
and have plundered their treasures;
like a bull I have brought down those who sat on thrones.(E)

the wealth of the peoples,
and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken,
so I have gathered all the earth,
and there was none that moved a wing
or opened its mouth or chirped.”(F)
