¹² “Though evil^(A) is sweet in his mouth
    and he hides it under his tongue,^(B)
13 though he cannot bear to let it go
    and lets it linger in his mouth,^(C)
14 yet his food will turn sour in his stomach;^(D)
    it will become the venom of serpents^(E) within him.
¹⁵ He will spit out the riches^(F) he swallowed;
    God will make his stomach vomit^(G) them up.
¹⁶ He will suck the poison^(H) of serpents;
    the fangs of an adder will kill him.^(I)
17 He will not enjoy the streams,
    the rivers^(J) flowing with honey^(K) and cream.^(L)
18 What he toiled for he must give back uneaten;^(M)
    he will not enjoy the profit from his trading.^(N)

¹⁰ Many are the woes of the wicked,^(A)
    but the Lord’s unfailing love
    surrounds the one who trusts^(B) in him.
