¹²Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;

¹⁴Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.

¹⁵He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

¹⁶He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him.

¹⁷He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.

¹⁸That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.

¹⁹Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;

²⁰Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.

²¹There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.

²²In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.

¹⁸That which he laboured for, shall he restore, & shall not swallow it downe: ^†according to his substance shall the restitution bee, and hee shall not reioyce therein.

¹⁹Because hee hath ^†oppressed, and hath forsaken the poore; because he hath violently taken away an ^*house which he builded not:

²⁰Surely he shall not ^†feele quietnesse in his belly, hee shall not saue of that which he desired.

^21‖There shall none of his meat be left, therefore shall no man looke for his goods.

²²In the fulnesse of his sufficiencie, he shalbe in straites: euery hand of the ^‖wicked shall come vpon him.
