30 He will not escape the darkness;(A)
    a flame(B) will wither his shoots,(C)
    and the breath of God’s mouth(D) will carry him away.(E)
31 Let him not deceive(F) himself by trusting what is worthless,(G)
    for he will get nothing in return.(H)
32 Before his time(I) he will wither,(J)
    and his branches will not flourish.(K)
33 He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes,(L)
    like an olive tree shedding its blossoms.(M)
34 For the company of the godless(N) will be barren,
    and fire will consume(O) the tents of those who love bribes.(P)
35 They conceive trouble(Q) and give birth to evil;(R)
    their womb fashions deceit.”
