23 He wandereth abroad for bread, --where may it be? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24 Distress and anguish make him afraid; they prevail against him, as a king ready for the battle.
25 For he hath stretched out his hand against ·God and strengthened himself against the Almighty:
26 He runneth against him, with outstretched neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers;
27 For he hath covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat upon his flanks.
28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, in houses that no man inhabiteth, which are destined to become heaps.
29 He shall not become rich, neither shall his substance continue, and their possessions shall not extend upon the earth.
