24 A day of darkness fills him with dread;distress and anguish overpower him,like a king expecting an attack.
25 Because he has stretched out his hand against Godand arrogantly challenged the Almighty,
26 Rushing defiantly against him,with the stout bosses of his shields.
27 Although he has covered his face with his crassness,padded his loins with blubber,
28 He shall dwell in ruined cities,in houses that are deserted,crumbling into rubble.
29 He shall not be rich, his possessions shall not endure;his property shall not spread over the land.
30 A flame shall sear his early growth,and with the wind his blossoms shall disappear.
