Job 15:29-31

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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