Job 15:28

Verse 28 of 35. The 15th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

24Distress and anguish make him afraid. They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

25Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty,

26he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers,

27because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.

28He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.

29He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue, neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.

30He will not depart out of darkness. The flame will dry up his branches. He will go away by the breath of God’s mouth.

31Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness will be his reward.

32It will be accomplished before his time. His branch will not be green.
