In context

27For he has covered his face with his fat, And made layers of fat upon his thighs.

28And let him lodge in desolate cities, And enter into houses without inhabitant: And what they have prepared, others shall carry away.

— Job 15:29 —

30Neither shall he in anywise escape the darkness: Let the wind blast his blossom, And let his flower fall off.

31Let him not think that he shall endure; For his end shall be vanity.
