26 and have attacked himwith their weapons.
27 They may be rich and fat,
28 but they will live in the ruinsof deserted towns.
29 Their property and wealthwill shrink and disappear.
30 They won't escape the darkness,and the blazing breath of Godwill set their future aflame.
31-32 They have put their trustin something worthless;now they will become worthlesslike a date palm treewithout a leaf.
33 Or like vineyards or orchardswhose blossoms and unripe fruitdrop to the ground.
