And moreover, wealth is treacherous; a proud man will not endure. He enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is like death, and can't be satisfied. He gathers all nations to himself, and collects to himself all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
6 Hinla asoh chan loi jengu hin amaho ajumso ding’u ahi. Amaho chun dai thanopna anei uva, Migucha nangho itobang lunghemna in nahinphah diu hitam? Tua hi nachan ding dol’u na kimu ding’u ahi! Alamlouva na hung hao dohu ahin, hinlah itih chanpi hi hitia na masot nahlai dingu ham?

"Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies.

You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink, and be exposed. The cup of the LORD's right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.

"What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?
19 Thinga kona kisem milimho jaha, “Khangin lang chule nei huhdoh un” tiho chunga itobang lunghemna in nanga’u hitam! Thusei theilou song milim kisem ho jah a, “Thoudoh un chuleh neihilun” natiuve. Milim khat nin ipi bol ding nahil theijum? Sana le dangka a kisem himaithei junte, hinla amahon asunguva hinna anei pouve.
Woe to him who says to the wood, 'Awake.' or to the mute stone, 'Arise.' Shall this teach? Look, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in its midst.
20 Hinlah Pakai hi Ahou In Thenga aum’e. Leiset pumpi a angsunga thipchet hen”.
But the LORD is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him."
