25 For he has stretched out his hand against Godand has arrogantly opposed the Almighty.
26 He rushes headlong at Himwith his thick, studded shields.
27 Though his face is covered with fat and his waistline bulges with it,
28 he will dwell in ruined cities,in abandoned houses destined to become piles of rubble.
29 He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure.His possessions will not increase in the land.
30 He will not escape from the darkness;flames will wither his shoots,and by the breath of God’s mouth, he will depart.
31 Let him not put trust in worthless things, being led astray,for what he gets in exchange will prove worthless.
