  • Job 15:20-35 : 20 All the days of the wicked man he writhes in pain, and the years allotted to the ruthless are hidden away. 21 Terrifying sounds are in his ears; in prosperity, the destroyer will come upon him. 22 He does not believe he will return from the darkness; he is marked for the sword. 23 He wanders about for food, asking, 'Where is it?' He knows that the day of darkness is ready at hand. 24 Distress and anguish terrify him; they overpower him like a king prepared for battle. 25 For he has stretched out his hand against God and boasts arrogantly against the Almighty. 26 He rushes against Him defiantly, with a sturdy shield for the thickness of his defense. 27 Though he has covered his face with fat and clothed his waist with layers of flesh, 28 he will dwell in desolated cities, in houses no one inhabits, destined to become ruins. 29 He will no longer be rich, and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread out across the land. 30 He will not escape from darkness; a flame will dry up his branch, and the breath of God's mouth will carry him away. 31 Let him not trust in worthlessness, deceiving himself, for worthlessness will be his reward. 32 It will be fulfilled before his time, and his branch will not remain green. 33 He will shake off his unripe grapes like a vine and cast away his blossoms like the olive tree. 34 For the company of the godless is barren, and fire consumes the tents of bribery. 35 They conceive trouble and give birth to wickedness; their womb prepares deceit.
