And piles up clothing like clay—

Job 20:18-22
New King James Version
18 He will restore that for which he labored,
And will not swallow it down;
From the proceeds of business
He will get no enjoyment.
19 For he has [a]oppressed and forsaken the poor,
He has violently seized a house which he did not build.
20 “Because(A) he knows no quietness in his [b]heart,
He will not save anything he desires.
21 Nothing is left for him to eat;
Therefore his well-being will not last.
22 In his self-sufficiency he will be in distress;
Every hand of [c]misery will come against him.

And they separated from each other. 12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot (E)dwelt in the cities of the plain and (F)pitched his tent even as far as Sodom. 13 But the men of Sodom (G)were exceedingly wicked and (H)sinful against the Lord.
