10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods. |
11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust. |
12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; |
13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth: |
14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him. |
15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly. |
16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him. |
17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter. |
18 That 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. |
19 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not; |
20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired. |
21 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods. |
22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him. |
23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating. |
24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through. |
25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him. |
26 All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle. |
27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him. |
28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath. |
29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God. |
