28 They are the ones who captured cities
    and 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[a] will vanish,
30     and they will not escape from darkness.
They will be like trees
    whose branches are burned by fire,
    whose blossoms[b] are blown away by the wind.
