21
Nothing is left for him to eat; Therefore his well-being will not last.
22
In his self-sufficiency he will be in distress; Every hand of misery will come against him.
23
When he is about to fill his stomach, God will cast on him the fury of His wrath, And will rain it on him while he is eating.

27
The heavens will reveal his iniquity, And the earth will rise up against him.
