3 (A)I have seen the fool taking root,
    but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.
4 His children are (B)far from safety;
    they are crushed in (C)the gate,
    and there is no one to deliver them.
5 The hungry eat his harvest,
    and he takes it even out of thorns,[a]
    and the thirsty pant[b] after his[c] wealth.
