¹² Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth,
though he hide it under his tongue;
¹³ though he spare it, and forsake it not;
but keep it still within his mouth:
¹⁴ yet his meat in his bowels is turned,
it is the gall of asps within him.
¹⁵ He hath swallowed down riches,
and he shall vomit them up again:
God shall cast them out of his belly.
¹⁶ He shall suck the poison of asps:
the viper’s tongue shall slay him.
¹⁷ He shall not see the rivers, the floods,
the brooks of honey and butter.
¹⁸ That which he laboured for shall he restore,
and shall not swallow it down:
according to his substance shall the restitution be,
and he shall not rejoice therein.
¹⁹ Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor;
because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
