18He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it;
he doesn’t enjoy the profits from his trading.
19For he oppressed and abandoned the poor;
he seized a house he did not build. y
20Because his appetite is never satisfied, z
he does not let anything he desires escape.
21Nothing is left for him to consume; a
therefore, his prosperity will not last.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
He will give back the fruit of his toil
and will not swallow it down;
from the profit of his trading
he will get no enjoyment.
For he has crushed and abandoned the poor;
he has seized a house that he did not build.
“Because he knew no contentment in his belly,
he will not let anything in which he delights escape him.
There was nothing left after he had eaten;
therefore his prosperity will not endure.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
What he toiled for he must give back uneaten;
he will not enjoy the profit from his trading.
For he has oppressed the poor and left them destitute;
he has seized houses he did not build.
“Surely he will have no respite from his craving;
he cannot save himself by his treasure.
Nothing is left for him to devour;
his prosperity will not endure.

NLTNew Living Translation
They will give back everything they worked for.
Their wealth will bring them no joy.
For they oppressed the poor and left them destitute.
They foreclosed on their homes.
They were always greedy and never satisfied.
Nothing remains of all the things they dreamed about.
Nothing is left after they finish gorging themselves.
Therefore, their prosperity will not endure.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Returning the products of his toil, he will not swallow;
according to the profit of his trade, he will not enjoy,
for he has oppressed; he has abandoned the poor;
he has seized a house but did not build it.
Because he has not known satisfaction in his stomach,
he lets nothing escape that he desires.
There is nothing left after he has eaten;
therefore his prosperity will not endure.

KJV 1900King James Version
That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down:
According to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor;
Because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly,
He shall not save of that which he desired.
There shall none of his meat be left;
Therefore shall no man look for his goods.
