16He shall sucke the poison of Aspes: the vipers tongue shall slay him. 17Hee shall not see the riuers, the floods, the brookes of hony and butter. 18That which he laboured for, shall he restore, & shall not swallow it downe: according to his substance shall the restitution bee, and hee shall not reioyce therein. 19Because hee hath oppressed, and hath forsaken the poore; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not: 20Surely he shall not feele quietnesse in his belly, hee shall not saue of that which he desired.
