New Testament

Job 15:27-35 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

27. Thickness has covered his face, and lard hangs down from his sides.

28. He has lived in desolate cities and deserted houses, which have been turned into tombs.

29. He will not be enriched, nor will his basic necessities endure, nor will he establish his root in the earth.

30. He will not withdraw from the darkness; the flame will burn up his branches, and he will be defeated by the breath of his own mouth.

31. He will not believe, being vainly deceived by error, that he could be redeemed at any price.

32. Before his time is completed, he will pass into ruin and his hands will wither away.

33. He will be wounded like a grapevine, when its cluster is in first flower, and like an olive tree that casts off its flower.

34. For the congregation of the hypocrites is fruitless, and fire will devour the tabernacles of those who love to accept money.

35. He has conceived sorrow, and he has brought forth iniquity, and his womb prepares deceit.
