Rh :Who enlargeth his desire as hell,
 * And is as death, and cannot be satisfied,
 * But gathereth unto him all nations,
 * And heapeth unto him all people:
 * Shall not all these take up a parable against him,
 * And a taunting proverb against him, and say,


 * Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long?
 * And to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
 * Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee,
 * And awake that shall vex thee,
 * And thou shalt be for booties unto them?
 * Because thou hast spoiled many nations,
 * All the remnant of the people shall spoil thee;
 * Because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land,
 * Of the city, and of all that dwell therein.


 * Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house,
 * That he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
 * Thou hast consulted shame to thy house
 * By cutting off many people,
 * And hast sinned against thy soul.
 * For the stone shall cry out of the wall,
 * And the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
