29 The wicked will no longer ·get [or be] rich,
    and the riches they have will not last [Ps. 73; Prov. 11:18; 13:11; 21:6; 22:16]
    the things they own will no longer spread over the land.
30 They will not ·escape [L turn aside from] the darkness.
    A flame will dry up their ·branches [shoots];
    God’s breath will carry the wicked away.[a]
31 The wicked should not fool themselves by trusting what is useless.
    If they do, they will get nothing in return [C “useless” and “nothing” are the same Hebrew word].
