16 Though they heap up silver like dust
    and pile up clothing like clay,^(C)

    and the innocent will divide the silver.^(D)
18 They build their houses like nests,
    like booths made by sentinels of the vineyard.
¹⁹ They go to bed with wealth but will do so no more;
    they open their eyes, and it is gone.^(E)

³⁰ that the wicked are spared in the day of calamity
    and are rescued in the day of wrath?^(A)

¹⁸ They will give back the fruit of their toil
    and will not swallow it down;
from the profit of their trading
    they will get no enjoyment.^(A)
19 For they have crushed and abandoned the poor;
    they have seized a house that they did not build.^(B)
