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.
31 Let him not trust in his height, misled,even though his height be like the palm tree.
32 He shall wither before his time,his branches no longer green.
33 He shall be like a vine that sheds its grapes unripened,like an olive tree casting off its blossom.
34 For the breed of the impious shall be sterile,and fire shall consume the tents of extortioners.
