²⁰ “Because he knew no ease within his belly,
In his covetousness, he does ^(A)not let anything escape.
²¹ Nothing remains ^[a]for him to devour;
Therefore ^(B)his prosperity does not endure.
²² In the fullness of his plenty he will be confined;
The ^(C)hand of everyone who is troubled will come against him.
²³ So it will be that he ^(D)fills his belly,
And God will send His burning anger on him
And will ^(E)rain it on him ^[b]while he is eating.
²⁴ He may ^(F)flee from the iron weapon,
But the bronze bow will pierce him.
²⁵ It is drawn forth and comes out of his back,
Even the glittering point from ^(G)his gall;
^(H)Bouts of dread come upon him.
²⁶ Complete ^(I)darkness is held in reserve for his treasures;
A ^(J)fire unfanned will devour him;
It will consume the survivor in his tent.
²⁷ The ^(K)heavens will reveal his iniquity,
And the earth will rise up against him.
²⁸ The ^(L)increase of his house will depart;
His possessions will flow away ^(M)in the day of His anger.
²⁹ This is the wicked man’s ^(N)portion from God,
Even the inheritance decreed to him by God.”
