Verse
Job - ch 15 v 21 - 35
- A sound of fear is in his ears; in time of peace destruction will come on him:
- He has no hope of coming safe out of the dark, and his fate will be the sword;
- He is wandering about in search of bread, saying, Where is it? and he is certain that the day of trouble is ready for him:
- He is greatly in fear of the dark day, trouble and pain overcome him:
- Because his hand is stretched out against God, and his heart is lifted up against the Ruler of all,
- Running against him like a man of war, covered by his thick breastplate; even like a king ready for the fight,
- Because his face is covered with fat, and his body has become thick;
- And he has made his resting-place in the towns which have been pulled down, in houses where no man had a right to be, whose fate was to become masses of broken walls.
- He does not get wealth for himself, and is unable to keep what he has got; the heads of his grain are not bent down to the earth.
- He does not come out of the dark; his branches are burned by the flame, and the wind takes away his bud.
- Let him not put his hope in what is false, falling into error: for he will get deceit as his reward.
- His branch is cut off before its time, and his leaf is no longer green.
- He is like a vine whose grapes do not come to full growth, or an olive-tree dropping its flowers.
- For the band of the evil-doers gives no fruit, and the tents of those who give wrong decisions for reward are burned with fire.
- Evil has made them with child, and they give birth to trouble; and the fruit of their body is shame for themselves.
