“He will not escape from the darkness; the flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away.”
Job 15:30 (BSB)
Context Reading
28he will dwell in ruined cities, in abandoned houses destined to become rubble. 29He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure. His possessions will not overspread the land. 30He will not escape from the darkness; the flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away. 31Let him not deceive himself with trust in emptiness, for emptiness will be his reward. 32It will be paid in full before his time, and his branch will not flourish.
