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!
