12 “Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth,
    though he hides it under his tongue,
13 though he is loath to let it go,
    and holds it in his mouth,
14 yet his food is turned in his stomach;
    it is the gall of asps within him.
15 He swallows down riches and vomits them up again;
    God casts them out of his belly.
16 He will suck the poison of asps;
    the tongue of a viper will kill him.
17 He will not look upon the rivers,
    the streams flowing with honey and curds.
18 He will give back the fruit of his toil,
    and will not swallow it down;
from the profit of his trading
    he will get no enjoyment.
19 For he has crushed and abandoned the poor,
    he has seized a house which he did not build.
