Job 15:20-35

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Job 15:20-35

20A wicked man writhes in pain all his days;
only a few years are reserved for the ruthless.
21Sounds of terror fill his ears;
in his prosperity the destroyer attacks him.
22He despairs of his return from darkness;
he is marked for the sword.
23He wanders about as food for vultures;
he knows the day of darkness is at hand.
24Distress and anguish terrify him,
overwhelming him like a king poised to attack.
25For he has stretched out his hand against God
and has vaunted himself against the Almighty,
26rushing headlong at Him
with a thick, studded shield.
27Though his face is covered with fat
and his waistline bulges with flesh,
28he will dwell in ruined cities,
in abandoned houses destined to become rubble.
29He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure.
His possessions will not overspread the land.
30He will not escape from the darkness;
the flame will wither his shoots,
and the breath of God’s mouth
will carry him away.
31Let him not deceive himself with trust in emptiness,
for emptiness will be his reward.
32It will be paid in full before his time,
and his branch will not flourish.
33He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes,
like an olive tree that sheds its blossoms.
34For the company of the godless will be barren,
and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
35They conceive trouble and give birth to evil;
their womb is pregnant with deceit.”
— Job 15:20-35
