19They’ve crushed poor people and left them with nothing.
They’ve taken over houses they didn’t even build.
20“No matter how much they have,
they always long for more.
But their treasure can’t save them.
21There isn’t anything left for them to eat up.
Their success won’t last.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
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)
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.

For he oppressed and abandoned the poor;
he seized a house he did not build.
Because his appetite is never satisfied,
he does not let anything he desires escape.
Nothing is left for him to consume;
therefore, his prosperity will not last.

NLTNew Living Translation
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.

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
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.
