Job 15:26-34

GNTA

NIV

26 They are proud and rebellious; they stubbornly hold up their shields and rush to fight against God.
26 defiantly charging against him with a thick, strong shield.
28 They are the ones who captured cities and seized houses whose owners had fled, but war will destroy those cities and houses.
28 he will inhabit ruined towns and houses where no one lives, houses crumbling to rubble.
29 They will not remain rich for long; nothing they own will last. Even their shadows will vanish,
29 He will no longer be rich and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread over the land.
30 and they will not escape from darkness. They will be like trees whose branches are burned by fire, whose blossoms are blown away by the wind.
30 He will not escape the darkness; a flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away.
31 If they are foolish enough to trust in evil, then evil will be their reward.
31 Let him not deceive himself by trusting what is worthless, for he will get nothing in return.
32 Before their time is up they will wither, wither like a branch and never be green again.
32 Before his time he will wither, and his branches will not flourish.
33 They will be like vines that lose their unripe grapes; like olive trees that drop their blossoms.
33 He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree shedding its blossoms.
34 There will be no descendants for godless people, and fire will destroy the homes built by bribery.
34 For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of those who love bribes.
