_t "Woe to him _u who heaps up what is not his own -
for _v how long? -
and _w loads himself with pledges!"
⁷ _x Will not your debtors suddenly arise,
and those awake who will make you tremble?
Then you will be spoil for them.
⁸ _y Because you have plundered many nations,
all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you,
_z for the blood of man and _y violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell in them.
