Job 15:32

Read in context

Job 15:30–34 · Berean Standard Bible

30 He will not escape from the darkness; the flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away.

31 Let him not deceive himself with trust in emptiness, for emptiness will be his reward.

32 It will be paid in full before his time, and his branch will not flourish.

33 He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree that sheds its blossoms.

34 For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
