And the sprawlers’ banqueting will pass away.

And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
Or does one plow them with oxen?
Yet you have turned justice into poison
And the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
ye that rejoice in a thing of nought, that say, have We not taken to us power by our own strength?
