Because you have plundered many nations, the remnant of the people will plunder you— because of your bloodshed against man and your violence against the land, the city, and all their dwellers.

Context

6“Je, watu wote hawatamsuta kwa dhihaka na kumbeza, wakisema, “ ‘Ole wake yeye akusanyaye bidhaa zilizoibwa na kujifanyia utajiri kwa kutoza kwa nguvu! Ataendelea hivi kwa muda gani?’ 7Je, wadai wako hawatainuka ghafula? Je, hawataamka na kukufanya utetemeke? Kisha utakuwa mhanga kwao. 8Kwa kuwa umeteka nyara mataifa mengi, watu waliobaki watakuteka nyara wewe. Kwa kuwa umemwaga damu ya mtu; umeharibu nchi na miji, na kila mmoja ndani yake. 9“Ole wake yeye ajengaye milki yake kwa mapato ya udhalimu, awekaye kiota chake juu, ili kukimbia makucha ya uharibifu! 10Umefanya shauri la maangamizi ya watu wengi, ukiaibisha nyumba yako mwenyewe, na kupotewa na maisha yako.
