Job

Job 15:28–30

²⁸he will dwell in ruined cities,

in abandoned houses destined to become rubble.

²⁹He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure.

His possessions will not overspread the land.

³⁰He will not escape from the darkness;

the flame will wither his shoots,

and the breath of God’s mouth

will carry him away.
