THE FIVE WOE ORACLES

6 Won’t all of these take up a taunt against him,i

with mockery and riddles about him?

They will say:

Woe to him who amasses what is not his—

how much longer?—j

and loads himself with goods taken in pledge.”k

7 Won’t your creditors suddenly arise,

and those who disturb you wake up?

Then you will become spoil for them.l

8 Since you have plundered many nations,m

all the peoples who remain will plunder youn—

because of human bloodshed

and violenceo against lands, cities,

and all who live in them.p
