“Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.”
“ Because he knew no quietness within him, He shall not save aught of that wherein he delighteth. ”
“"Because he knew no quietness within him, he shall not save anything of that in which he delights.”
“For he knows no satisfaction in his appetite; he does not let anything he desires escape.”
“And yet his belly was not filled: and when he hath the things he coveted, he shall not be able to possess them.”
“There is no peace for him in his wealth, and no salvation for him in those things in which he took delight.”
“Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.”
(May he never see the streams of the river, the torrents of honey and butter.)
He will be repaid for all he has done, yet he will not be consumed; according to the multitude of his schemes, so also will he suffer.
For, having broken in, he stripped the poor. He has quickly stolen away a house he did not build.
And yet his stomach will not be satisfied, and when he has the things he desires, he will not be able to possess them.
Nothing remained of his portion, and, because of this, nothing will continue of his kind.
When he will be satisfied, he will be constrained; he will seethe, and all anguish will fall upon him.
May his stomach be filled, so that God may send forth the fury of his wrath to him and may rain down his battle upon him.
