Job 15:29-31

Good News Translation

²⁹ They will not remain rich for long;
    nothing they own will last.
Even their shadows^[a] will vanish,
³⁰     and they will not escape from darkness.
They will be like trees
    whose branches are burned by fire,
    whose blossoms^[b] are blown away by the wind.
³¹ If they are foolish enough to trust in evil,
    then evil will be their reward.
