Job 15:29

²⁷ Though his face is covered with fat and his waistline bulges with flesh,

²⁸ he will dwell in ruined cities, in abandoned houses destined to become rubble.

He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure. His possessions will not overspread the land.

³⁰ He will not escape from the darkness; the flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away.

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

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
