"And he hath dwelt in desolate cities, In houses which no man inhabited, Which were ready to become heaps; "
— Job 15:28, American Standard Version
“And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.”
“He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.”
“he lived in ruined towns and in houses where no one lives, where they are ready to crumble into heaps.”
“He hath dwelt in desolate cities, and in desert houses that are reduced into heaps.”
“And he has made his resting-place in the towns which have been pulled down, in houses where no man had a right to be, whose fate was to become masses of broken walls.”
“And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.”
Because he hath stretched out his hand against God, And behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;
He runneth upon him with astiffneck, With the thick bosses of his bucklers;
Because he hath covered his face with his fatness, And gathered fat upon his loins;
And he hath dwelt in desolate cities, In houses which no man inhabited, Which were ready to become heaps;
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, Neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth.
He shall not depart out of darkness; The flame shall dry up his branches, And by the breath ofGod’smouth shall he go away.
Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself; For vanity shall be his recompense.
