6“Will not allH3605 of theseH428 1takeH5375 up a taunt-songH4912 againstH5921 him, Even mockeryH4426 and insinuationsH2420 against him And sayH559, ‘2WoeH1945 to him who increasesH7235 what is not his-- For howH4970 longH5704H4970-- And makesH3513 himself 3richH3513 with loansH5671?’7Will not 4your creditorsH5391 5riseH6965 up suddenlyH6621, And those who 6collectH2111 from you awakenH3364? Indeed, you will becomeH1961 plunderH4933 for them.8BecauseH3588 you have 7lootedH7997 manyH7227 nationsH1471, AllH3605 the remainderH3499 of the peoplesH5971 will lootH7997 you-- BecauseH4480 of humanH120 bloodshedH1818 and violenceH2555 8done to the landH776, To the townH7151 and allH3605 its inhabitantsH3427.
9“WoeH1945 to him who getsH1214 9evilH7451 gainH1215 for his houseH1004 To 10putH7760 his nestH7064 on highH4791, To be deliveredH5337 from the handH3709 of calamityH7451!10You have devisedH3289 a 11shamefulH1322 thingH1322 for your houseH1004 By cuttingH7096 offH7096 manyH7227 peoplesH5971; So you are 12sinningH2398 against yourselfH5315.11SurelyH3588 the 13stoneH68 will cryH2199 out from the wallH7023, And the rafterH3714 will answerH6030 it from the 14frameworkH6086.
