25 For he stretches out his hand against God,And acts defiantly against the Almighty,
26 Running stubbornly against HimWith his strong, embossed shield.
27 “Though he has covered his face with his fatness,And made his waist heavy with fat,
28 He dwells in desolate cities,In houses which no one inhabits,Which are destined to become ruins.
29 He will not be rich,Nor will his wealth continue,Nor will his possessions overspread the earth.
30 He will not depart from darkness;The flame will dry out his branches,And by the breath of His mouth he will go away.
31 Let him not trust in futile things, deceiving himself,For futility will be his reward.
