25. For he hath stretched out his hand against ·God and strengthened himself against the Almighty:
26. He runneth against him, with outstretched neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers;
27. For he hath covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat upon his flanks.
28. And he dwelleth in desolate cities, in houses that no man inhabiteth, which are destined to become heaps.
29. He shall not become rich, neither shall his substance continue, and their possessions shall not extend upon the earth.
30. He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches; and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
