He has lived in desolate cities,
in houses which no one inhabited,
which were ready to become heaps.
He has lived in desolate cities,
in houses which no one inhabited,
which were ready to become heaps.
Job 15:25–31
Because he has stretched out his hand against God,
and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty,
he runs at him with a stiff neck,
with the thick shields of his bucklers,
because he has covered his face with his fatness,
and gathered fat on his thighs.
He has lived in desolate cities,
in houses which no one inhabited,
which were ready to become heaps.
He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue,
neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.
He will not depart out of darkness.
The flame will dry up his branches.
He will go away by the breath of God’s mouth.
Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself,
for emptiness will be his reward.
