16 He sucks the poison of serpents; fangs of a viper kill him.
17 He will not look at streams, rivers flowing with honey and butter.
18 He gives back what he toiled for without swallowing it; he will not enjoy the riches of his trade.
19 For he has oppressed and abandoned the poor. He has seized a house he did not build.
20 For he knows no satisfaction from his greed, he cannot save himself by his desires.
21 Nothing remains for him to devour; therefore his prosperity will not last.
22 In the fullness of his plenty, he will be distressed; the full force of misery will come upon him.
