20:18 He gives back the ill-gotten gain
without assimilating it;
he will not enjoy the wealth from his commerce.
20:19 For he has oppressed the poor and abandoned them;
he has seized a house which he did not build.
20:20 For he knows no satisfaction in his appetite;
he does not let anything he desires
20:21 “Nothing is left for him to devour;
that is why his prosperity does not last.
31:38 “If my land cried out against me
and all its furrows wept together,
31:39 if I have eaten its produce without paying,
or caused the death
22:13 “‘Sure to be judged
and treats people unfairly while adding its upper rooms.
He makes his countrymen work for him for nothing.
He does not pay them for their labor.
2:6 “But all these nations will someday taunt him
and ridicule him with proverbial sayings:
‘The one who accumulates what does not belong to him is as good as dead
(How long will this go on?)
he who gets rich by extortion!’
2:7 Your creditors will suddenly attack;
those who terrify you will spring into action,
and they will rob you.
2:8 Because you robbed many countries,
all who are left among the nations
You have shed human blood
and committed violent acts against lands, cities,
2:9 The one who builds his house by unjust gain is as good as dead.
He does this so he can build his nest way up high
and escape the clutches of disaster.
2:10 Your schemes will bring shame to your house.
Because you destroyed many nations, you will self-destruct.
2:11 For the stones in the walls will cry out,
and the wooden rafters will answer back.
