And my handreachedto the richesof the peopleslike a nest,And as one gathersabandonedeggs,I gatheredallthe earth;And there was not one that flappedits wingor opened[its] beakor chirped."
IfI have gloatedbecausemy wealthwas great,And becausemy handhad secured[so] much;
Plunderthe silver!Plunderthe gold!For thereis nolimitto the treasure--Wealthfrom everykind of desirableobject.
"Thoughyou buildhighlike the eagle,Thoughyou setyour nestamongthe stars,From thereI will bringyou down,"declaresthe LORD.
"As for the terrorof you, The arroganceof your hearthas deceivedyou, O you who livein the cleftsof the rock,Who occupythe heightof the hill.Thoughyou makeyour nestas highas an eagle's,I will bringyou downfrom there,"declaresthe LORD.
Woeto those who addhouseto house[and] joinfieldto field,Untilthere is nomoreroom,So that you have to livealonein the midstof the land!
Beforedestructionthe heartof manis haughty,But humility[goes] beforehonor.
Which used to strikethe peoplesin furywith unceasingstrokes,Which subduedthe nationsin angerwith unrestrainedpersecution.
"And you have spokenarrogantlyagainstMe and have multipliedyour wordsagainstMe; I have heard[it]."
Do you not knowwhatI and my fathershave doneto allthe peoplesof the lands?Were the godsof the nationsof the landsableat allto delivertheir landfrom my hand?
I dug[wells] and drankwaters,And with the soleof my feetI driedup Allthe riversof Egypt.'
