8 Like a dream they will fly away. They will never be seen again. They will be driven away like visions in the night.
9 The eyes that saw them won't see them anymore. Even their own families won't remember them.
10 Their children must pay back what they took from poor people. Their own hands must give back the wealth they stole.
11 They might feel young and very strong. But they will soon lie down in the dust of their graves.
12 "Anything that is evil tastes sweet to them. They keep it under their tongues for a while.
13 They can't stand to let it go. So they hold it in their mouths.
14 But their food will turn sour in their stomachs. It will become like the poison of a serpent inside them.
