22 He does not think that he will return out of darkness; the sword waits for him.

32 It will happen before his time should come to die; his branch will not be green.
On not day his it will be completed and palm branch his not it will grow luxuriant.
33 He will drop his unripe grapes like a grapevine; he will cast off his flowers like the olive tree.

34 For the company of godless people will be barren; fire will consume their tents of bribery.
