23. and vultures are waiting to eat their corpses.They know their future is dark;
24. disaster, like a powerful king,is waiting to attack them.
25. That is the fate of thosewho shake their fists at Godand defy the Almighty.
26-27. They are proud and rebellious;they stubbornly hold up their shieldsand rush to fight against God.
28. They are the ones who captured citiesand seized houses whose owners had fled,but war will destroy those cities and houses.
29. They will not remain rich for long;nothing they own will last.Even their shadows will vanish,
