²⁸ He has lived in desolate cities,
    in houses which no one inhabited,
    which were ready to become heaps.
²⁹ He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue,
    neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.
³⁰ He will not depart out of darkness.
    The flame will dry up his branches.
    He will go away by the breath of God’s mouth.
