And thy troublers awake,

And thou be for spoil[400] to them?

Because thou hast spoiled many nations,

All the rest of the peoples shall spoil thee.

For men’s blood, and earth’s waste,

Cities and all their inhabitants.[401]

SECOND TAUNT-SONG (ii. 9–11).

Woe unto him that gains evil gain for his house,[402]

To set high his nest, to save him from the grasp

of calamity!
