⁴ Look at the proud!
   Their spirit is not right in them,
   but the righteous live by their faith.^*
5 Moreover, wealth^* is treacherous;
   the arrogant do not endure.
They open their throats wide as Sheol;
   like Death they never have enough.
They gather all nations for themselves,
   and collect all peoples as their own.

The Woes of the Wicked

6 Shall not everyone taunt such people and, with mocking riddles, say about them,
‘Alas for you who heap up what is not your own!’
   How long will you load yourselves with goods taken in pledge?
⁷ Will not your own creditors suddenly rise,
   and those who make you tremble wake up?
   Then you will be booty for them.
⁸ Because you have plundered many nations,
   all that survive of the peoples shall plunder you—
because of human bloodshed, and violence to the earth,
   to cities and all who live in them.
