  11. 11 "His bones are full of his youthful vigor But it lies down with him in the dust.
  12. 12 "Though evil is sweet in his mouth And he hides it under his tongue
  13. 13 Though he desires it and will not let it go But holds it in his mouth
  14. 14 Yet his food in his stomach is changed To the venom of cobras within him.
  15. 15 "He swallows riches But will vomit them up; God will expel them from his belly.
  16. 16 "He sucks the poison of cobras; The viper's tongue slays him.
  17. 17 "He does not look at the streams The rivers flowing with honey and curds.

  24. 24 "He may flee from the iron weapon But the bronze bow will pierce him.
  25. 25 "It is drawn forth and comes out of his back Even the glittering point from his gall. Terrors come upon him
  26. 26 Complete darkness is held in reserve for his treasures And unfanned fire will devour him; It will consume the survivor in his tent.
  27. 27 "The heavens will reveal his iniquity And the earth will rise up against him.
  28. 28 "The increase of his house will depart; His possessions will flow away in the day of His anger.
  29. 29 "This is the wicked man's portion from God Even the heritage decreed to him by God."
