“Alas for you who heap up what is not your own!”
How long will you load yourselves with goods taken in pledge?(A)
7 Will not your own creditors suddenly rise
and those who make you tremble wake up?

all who survive of the peoples shall plunder you—
because of human bloodshed and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who live in them.(B)
9 “Alas for you who get evil gain for your house,
setting your nest on high
to be safe from the reach of harm!”(C)
