¹² “Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth,
    though he hide it under his tongue,
¹³ though he spare it, and will not let it go,
    but keep it still within his mouth;
¹⁴ yet his food in his bowels is turned.
    It is cobra venom within him.
¹⁵ He has swallowed down riches, and he will vomit them up again.
    God will cast them out of his belly.
¹⁶ He will suck cobra venom.
    The viper’s tongue will kill him.
¹⁷ He will not look at the rivers,
    the flowing streams of honey and butter.
¹⁸ He will restore that for which he labored, and will not swallow it down.
    He will not rejoice according to the substance that he has gotten.
¹⁹ For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor.
    He has violently taken away a house, and he will not build it up.
