Job 15:29-31

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁹ they will not be rich, and their wealth will not endure,
    nor will they strike root in the earth;^[a]
30 they will not escape from darkness;
    the flame will dry up their shoots,
    and their blossom^[b] will be swept away^[c] by the wind.
³¹ Let them not trust in emptiness, deceiving themselves;
    for emptiness will be their recompense.
