35. Afterwards, I, with a vast appetite, will instantly swallow that entire assembly of your people from all directions. 'May this be good for you!' — I think (sarcastically). Indeed, the excessive indulgence of fools invariably leads to their destruction.

35. לאחר מכן אבלע ברגע, בבטני הרחבה, את ממלכתכם כולה. כזאת תהיה מלכותך הטובה! לדעתי, התשוקה המופרזת של סכלים סופה להביא עליהם חורבן.
