25. This is because they rebelledagainst God All-Powerful
26. and have attacked himwith their weapons.
27. They may be rich and fat,
28. but they will live in the ruinsof deserted towns.
29. Their property and wealthwill shrink and disappear.
30. They won't escape the darkness,and the blazing breath of Godwill set their future aflame.
