17 and never enjoy rivers flowingwith milk and honey.
18 Their hard work will resultin nothing gained,
19 because they cheated the poorand took their homes.
20 Greedy people want everythingand are never satisfied.
21 But when nothing remainsfor them to grab,they will be nothing.
22 Once they have everything,distress and despairwill strike them down,
23 and God will make them swallowhis blazing anger.
