That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
Debe devolver lo que tanto trabajó para conseguir, y no podrá guardárselo. Tendrá que pagar de acuerdo a cuánta riqueza obtuvo, y no encontrará gozo en ella.
La riqueza obtenida injustamente debe ser devuelta sin poder disfrutarla.
