Job 15:28-35
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
28He has lived in desolate cities, In houses no one would inhabit, Which are destined to become ruins. 29He will not become rich, nor will his wealth endure; And his property will not stretch out on the earth. 30He will not escape from darkness; The flame will dry up his shoot, And he will go away by the breath of His mouth. 31Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; For his reward will be emptiness. 32It will be accomplished before his time, And his palm branch will not be green. 33He will drop off his unripe grape like the vine, And will cast off his flower like the olive tree. 34For the company of the godless is barren, And fire consumes the tents of the corrupt. 35They conceive harm and give birth to wrongdoing, And their mind prepares deception.'King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 15
28he will dwell in ruined cities, in abandoned houses destined to become piles of rubble. 29He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure. His possessions will not increase in the land. 30He will not escape from the darkness; flames will wither his shoots, and by the breath of God’s mouth, he will depart. 31Let him not put trust in worthless things, being led astray, for what he gets in exchange will prove worthless. 32It will be accomplished before his time, and his branch will not flourish. 33He will be like a vine that drops its unripe grapes and like an olive tree that sheds its blossoms. 34For the company of the godless will have no children, and fire will consume the tents of those who offer bribes. 35They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb prepares deception.New Living Translation
Chapter 15
28But their cities will be ruined. They will live in abandoned houses that are ready to tumble down. 29Their riches will not last, and their wealth will not endure. Their possessions will no longer spread across the horizon.
30'They will not escape the darkness. The burning sun will wither their shoots, and the breath of God will destroy them.
31Let them no longer fool themselves by trusting in empty riches, for emptiness will be their only reward.
32They will be cut down in the prime of life; their branches will never again be green.
33They will be like a vine whose grapes are harvested too early, like an olive tree that loses its blossoms before the fruit can form.
34For the godless are barren. Their homes, enriched through bribery, will burn.
35They conceive trouble and give birth to evil. Their womb produces deceit.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 15
28and has lived in desolate cities, in houses that none should inhabit, which were ready to become heaps of ruins; 29he will not be rich, and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread over the earth; 30he will not depart from darkness; the flame will dry up his shoots, and by the breath of his mouth he will depart. 31Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness will be his payment. 32It will be paid in full before his time, and his branch will not be green. 33He will shake off his unripe grape like the vine, and cast off his blossom like the olive tree. 34For the company of the godless is barren, and fire consumes the tents of bribery. 35They conceive trouble and give birth to evil, and their womb prepares deceit."New International Version
Chapter 15
28he will inhabit ruined towns and houses where no one lives, houses crumbling to rubble. 29He will no longer be 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 the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away. 31Let him not deceive himself by trusting what is worthless, for he will get nothing in return. 32Before his time he will wither, and his branches will not flourish. 33He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree shedding its blossoms. 34For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of those who love bribes. 35They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb fashions deceit."New King James Version
