26. He rushes upon Him, even on His neck,with his thick embossed shield.
27. “He has covered his face with his fatnessand gathered fat upon his waist.
28. He dwells in desolate citiesand in houses which no man inhabits,which are ready to become heaps.
29. He will not be rich, nor will his wealth continue,nor will his possessions spread over the earth.
30. He will not depart out of darkness;the flame will dry out his branches,and by the breath of His mouth he will go away.
31. Let him who is deceived not trust in futility,for futility will be his reward.
32. It will be accomplished before his time,and his branch will not be green.
33. He will shake off his unripe grape like the vine,and will cast off his blossom like the olive.
34. For the company of hypocrites will be desolate,and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
35. They conceive mischief, and give birth to futility;their womb prepares deceit.”
