Job 15:35

Judgment

33 He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree that sheds its blossoms.

34 For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.

They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb is pregnant with deceit.”
Read the whole chapter

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.
