22 Darkness, despair, and deathare their destiny.
23 They scrounge around for food,all the while dreadingthe approaching darkness.
24 They are overcome with despair,like a terrified kingabout to go into battle.
25 This is because they rebelledagainst God All-Powerful
26 and have attacked himwith their weapons.
27 They may be rich and fat,
28 but they will live in the ruinsof deserted towns.
