In context

¹⁴Yet in his stomach his food sours into the venom of cobras within him.

¹⁵He swallows wealth but vomits it out; God will force it from his stomach.

¹⁶He will suck the poison of cobras; the fangs of a viper will kill him.

¹⁷He will not enjoy the streams, the rivers flowing with honey and cream.

¹⁸He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it; he cannot enjoy the profits of his trading.
