Job 15,30

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

29 Han vil ikke forbli rik, og hans rikdom vil ikke vare;
hans eiendeler vil ikke spre seg over landet.

Han vil ikke finne tilflukt fra mørket;
en flamme vil visne hans skudd,
og Guds munns pust vil bære ham bort.

31 La ham ikke bedra seg selv
ved å stole på tomhet, for han vil ikke få noe igjen.

32 Det vil bli oppfylt før hans tid,
og hans grener vil ikke blomstre.

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.
