¹² lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived therein;

⁹ Lest I be full, deny you, and say, 'Who is Yahweh?' Or lest I be poor, and steal, And so dishonor the name of my God.

¹⁵ But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked: You have grown fat, you are grown thick, you are become sleek; Then he forsook God who made him, Lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

⁴⁷ Because you didn't serve Yahweh your God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, by reason of the abundance of all things;

²⁸ Likewise, even as it happened in the days of Lot: they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

⁴ "Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste?

¹¹ Forasmuch therefore as you trample on the poor, And take taxes from him of wheat: You have built houses of hewn stone, But you will not dwell in them. You have planted pleasant vineyards, But you shall not drink their wine.

⁵ I knew you in the wilderness, In the land of great drought.

⁶ According to their pasture, so were they filled; They were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me.

³ who say, [The time] is not near to build houses: this [city] is the caldron, and we are the flesh.

¹⁴ who says, I will build me a wide house and spacious chambers, and cuts him out windows; and it is ceiling with cedar, and painted with vermilion.

¹⁵ Shall you reign, because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn't your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? then it was well with him.

⁴ I made myself great works. I built myself houses. I planted myself vineyards.

²⁰ For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant.
