Job 15,26

24 Nød og angst skremmer ham;
de overmanner ham som en konge klar for kamp,

25 fordi han har strukket ut sin hånd mot Gud,
og vist arroganse mot Den Allmektige.

Han angriper trassig Ham med et tykt, sterkt skjold.

27 Selv om hans ansikt er dekket av fett
og hans midje er full av kjøtt,

28 skal han bo i øde byer,
i hus ingen bor i,
bestemt til å bli ruiner.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
