Job 15:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible
25 For he has stretched out his hand against God and has vaunted himself against the Almighty,
26 rushing headlong at Him with a thick, studded shield.
27 Though his face is covered with fat and his waistline bulges with flesh,
28 he will dwell in ruined cities, in abandoned houses destined to become rubble.
29 He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure. His possessions will not overspread the land.
