17He looketh not on rivulets, Flowing of brooks of honey and butter.


In Context

14 His food in his bowels is turned, The bitterness of asps is in his heart.

15 Wealth he hath swallowed, and doth vomit it. From his belly God driveth it out.

16 Gall of asps he sucketh, Slay him doth the tongue of a viper.

17 He looketh not on rivulets, Flowing of brooks of honey and butter.

18 He is giving back what he laboured for, And doth not consume it; As a bulwark is his exchange, and he exults not.

19 For he oppressed — he forsook the poor, A house he hath taken violently away, And he doth not build it.
