18 He (A)returns the product of his labor
And cannot swallow it;
As to the riches of his trading,
He cannot even enjoy them.
19 For he has (B)oppressed and neglected the poor;
He has seized a house which he has not built.

20 “Because he knew no quiet [a]within him,
He does (C)not retain anything he desires.
21 Nothing remains [b]for him to devour,
Therefore (D)his prosperity does not endure.
