12 "Though evil is sweet in his mouth And he hides it under his tongue,
13 Though he desires it and will not let it go, But holds it in his mouth,
14 Yet his food in his stomach is changed To the venom of cobras within him.
15 "He swallows riches, But will vomit them up; God will expel them from his belly.
16 "He sucks the poison of cobras; The viper's tongue slays him.
17 "He does not look at the streams, The rivers flowing with honey and curds.
18 "He returns what he has attained And cannot swallow it; As to the riches of his trading, He cannot even enjoy them.
