Job 15:28-35

28he lived in ruined towns and in houses where no one lives, where they are ready to crumble into heaps.

29He will not grow rich, and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread over the land.

30He will not escape the darkness; a flame will wither his shoots and he will depart by the breath of God’s mouth.

31Let him not trust in what is worthless, deceiving himself; for worthlessness will be his reward.

32Before his time he will be paid in full, and his branches will not flourish.

33Like a vine he will let his sour grapes fall, and like an olive tree he will shed his blossoms.

34For the company of the godless is barren, and fire consumes the tents of those who accept bribes.

35They conceive trouble and bring forth evil; their belly prepares deception.”
