Job

²⁴Distress and anguish terrify him;they prevail against him like a king ready to launch an attack, ²⁵for he stretches out his hand against God,and vaunts himself against the Almighty, ²⁶defiantly charging against himwith a thick, strong shield! ²⁷Because he covered his face with fat,and made his hips bulge with fat, ²⁸he lived in ruined townsand in houses where no one lives,where they are ready to crumble into heaps. ²⁹He will not grow rich,and his wealth will not endure,nor will his possessions spread over the land. ³⁰He will not escape the darkness;a flame will wither his shootsand he will depart by the breath of God’s mouth.
