Since you have (A)looted many nations,
All the rest of the peoples will loot you—
Because of human bloodshed and violence [a]done to the land,
To the town and all its inhabitants.

“Woe to him who makes (B)evil profit for his household,
To (C)put his nest on high,
To be saved from the hand of catastrophe!
10 You have planned a (D)shameful thing for your house
By bringing many peoples to an end;
So you are (E)sinning against yourself.
