New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Job 15
27 "For he has covered his face with his fat And made his thighs heavy with flesh.
28 "He has lived in desolate cities, In houses no one would inhabit, Which are destined to become ruins.
29 "He will not become rich, nor will his wealth endure; And his grain will not bend down to the ground.
30 "He will not escape from darkness; The flame will wither his shoots, And by the breath of His mouth he will go away.
31 "Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; For emptiness will be his reward.
32 "It will be accomplished before his time, And his palm branch will not be green.
33 "He will drop off his unripe grape like the vine, And will cast off his flower like the olive tree.
34 "For the company of the godless is barren, And fire consumes the tents of the corrupt.
35 "They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity, And their mind prepares deception."
Job 16
1 Then Job answered,
2 "I have heard many such things; Sorry comforters are you all.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
