Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself,
for emptiness will be his reward.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Job 15:31 in context
Job 15:28–34
28
He has lived in desolate cities,
in houses which no one inhabited,
which were ready to become heaps.
29
He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue,
neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.
30
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.
31
Selected verse
Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself,
for emptiness will be his reward.
32
It will be accomplished before his time.
His branch will not be green.
33
He will shake off his unripe grape as the vine,
and will cast off his flower as the olive tree.
34
For the company of the godless will be barren,
and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
