11 His bones may be full of youthful vigor,but will lie down with him in the grave.
12 Though evil tastes sweet in his mouthand he conceals it under his tongue,
13 though he cherishes it and will not let it gobut keeps it in his mouth,
14 yet the food in his stomach turnsinto cobras’ venom inside him.
15 He swallows wealth but must vomit it up;God will force it from his stomach.
16 He will suck the poison of cobras;a viper’s fangs will kill him.
17 He will not enjoy the streams,the rivers flowing with honey and cream.
