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].
32 Their branches will dry up ·before they finish growing [L out of season]
    and will never turn green.
