Job 15:20-35 - The Tortured Life Of The Wicked Person
20 The wicked man labors in pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden for the ruthless one. 21 A dreadful sound of things is in his ears; the destroyer shall come to him in peace. 22 He does not believe in a return from darkness, but he is awaited by the sword. 23 He wanders for bread, saying, Where is it? He knows that the day of darkness is ready at hand. 24 Trouble and pain shall terrify him; they shall overpower him, as a king ready for the battle; 25 because he stretches out his hand against God, and sets himself against the Almighty. 26 He runs at him, with a stiff neck, with the thick layers of his shields, 27 because he has covered his face with fat; he has put fat on his loins. 28 And he lives in cut off cities, in houses where none are living, which are ready to become heaps. 29 He shall not be rich, nor shall his wealth hold out, nor shall he stretch out his gain on the earth. 30 He shall not escape from darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and at the breath of his mouth he shall turn away. 31 Let not he being deceived trust in vanity; for vanity shall be his reward. 32 It shall be done before his time, and his branch shall not be green. 33 He shall shake off its unripe grape, as the vine; and shall cast off his flower like the olive. 34 For the company of the ungodly shall be barren, and fire shall devour the tents of bribery. 35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth evil, and their belly prepares deceit.
