³⁰     He will not manage to escape from darkness,
        as it scorches like tender branches that wilt in the flame;
    He will blow away like the breath of his mouth.
³¹     Don’t let him fool himself;
        if he trusts in the emptiness of his vanity,
        emptiness will be his reward.
³²     Before his time is up, it will all be finished
        and the branches of his trees will never leaf out.
