¹⁵ Or with princes who had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:

¹⁸ Balaam answered the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word of Yahweh my God, to do less or more.

²⁷ The king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.

²¹ He pours contempt on princes, And loosens the belt of the strong.

²⁵ The Almighty will be your treasure, Precious silver to you.

¹⁶ Though he heap up silver as the dust, And prepare clothing as the clay;

¹⁷ He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, And the innocent shall divide the silver.

⁷ Their land is full of silver and gold, Neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land also is full of horses, Neither is there any end of their chariots.

¹⁸ Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of Yahweh's wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.

³ Tyre built herself a stronghold, And heaped up silver like the dust, And fine gold like the mire of the streets.
