21. Fearful sounds are in his ears; in peace the destroyer shall come upon him.
22. He will not believe that he shall return out of darkness, and he is always watching the sword.
23. He wanders abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? He knows that the day of darkness is prepared for him.
24. Tribulation and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25. Because he extended his hand against God and strengthens himself against the Almighty,
26. he shall run him through in the neck, upon the thick shoulder pieces of his shields;
27. for he covered his face with his fatness and made collops of fat on his flanks;
28. and he dwelt in desolate cities and in houses which no one inhabited, which were in heaps.
29. He shall not become rich, nor shall his strength be established, neither shall he extend his beauty upon the earth.
