what he lays up, the righteous will wear, and his silver will be divided by the innocent.

15 His survivors will be buried by the plague, and their widows will not weep for them.
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust and piles up a wardrobe like clay,
17 what he lays up, the righteous will wear, and his silver will be divided by the innocent.
18 The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut set up by a watchman.

21 The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
