Woe to the Wicked
5 “Indeed, because he transgresses by wine,
He is a proud man,
And he does not stay at home.
Because he aenlarges his desire as hell,
And he is like death, and cannot be satisfied,
He gathers to himself all nations
And heaps up for himself all peoples.
He is a proud man,
And he does not stay at home.
Because he aenlarges his desire as hell,
And he is like death, and cannot be satisfied,
He gathers to himself all nations
And heaps up for himself all peoples.
6 “Will not all these atake up a proverb against him,
And a taunting riddle against him, and say,
‘Woe to him who increases
What is not his—how long?
And to him who loads himself with1 many pledges’?
And a taunting riddle against him, and say,
‘Woe to him who increases
What is not his—how long?
And to him who loads himself with1 many pledges’?
7 Will not1 your creditors rise up suddenly?
Will they not awaken who oppress you?
And you will become their booty.
Will they not awaken who oppress you?
And you will become their booty.
8 aBecause you have plundered many nations,
All the remnant of the people shall plunder you,
Because of men’s1 blood
And the violence of the land and the city,
And of all who dwell in it.
All the remnant of the people shall plunder you,
Because of men’s1 blood
And the violence of the land and the city,
And of all who dwell in it.
