Verse
Job - ch 15 v 21 - 35
- A sound of terrors is in his ears; In prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
- He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, And he is waited for of the sword.
- He wandereth abroad for bread, `saying', Where is it? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
- Distress and anguish make him afraid; They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
- Because he hath stretched out his hand against God, And behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;
- He runneth upon him with a `stiff' neck, With the thick bosses of his bucklers;
- Because he hath covered his face with his fatness, And gathered fat upon his loins;
- And he hath dwelt in desolate cities, In houses which no man inhabited, Which were ready to become heaps;
- He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, Neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth.
- He shall not depart out of darkness; The flame shall dry up his branches, And by the breath of `God's' mouth shall he go away.
- Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself; For vanity shall be his recompense.
- It shall be accomplished before his time, And his branch shall not be green.
- He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, And shall cast off his flower as the olive-tree.
- For the company of the godless shall be barren, And fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
- They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, And their heart prepareth deceit.
