Job 15:31-32
Job 15:31-32 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; For emptiness will be his reward. It will be accomplished before his time, And his palm branch will not be green.
Job 15:31-32 New International Version (NIV)
Let him not deceive himself by trusting what is worthless, for he will get nothing in return. Before his time he will wither, and his branches will not flourish.
Job 15:27-35 The Message (MSG)
“Even if they’re the picture of health, trim and fit and youthful, They’ll end up living in a ghost town sleeping in a hovel not fit for a dog, a ramshackle shack. They’ll never get ahead, never amount to much of anything. And then death—don’t think they’ll escape that! They’ll end up shriveled weeds, brought down by a puff of God’s breath. There’s a lesson here: Whoever invests in lies, gets lies for interest, Paid in full before the due date. Some investment! They’ll be like fruit frost-killed before it ripens, like buds sheared off before they bloom. The godless are fruitless—a barren crew; a life built on bribes goes up in smoke. They have sex with sin and give birth to evil. Their lives are wombs for breeding deceit.”
Job 15:31-32 King James Version (KJV)
Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: For vanity shall be his recompence. It shall be accomplished before his time, And his branch shall not be green.
Job 15:31-32 New Century Version (NCV)
The wicked should not fool themselves by trusting what is useless. If they do, they will get nothing in return. Their branches will dry up before they finish growing and will never turn green.
Job 15:31-32 American Standard Version (ASV)
Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself; For vanity shall be his recompense. It shall be accomplished before his time, And his branch shall not be green.
Job 15:31-32 New King James Version (NKJV)
Let him not trust in futile things, deceiving himself, For futility will be his reward. It will be accomplished before his time, And his branch will not be green.
Job 15:31-32 Amplified Bible (AMP)
“Let him not trust in vanity (emptiness, futility) and be led astray; For emptiness will be his reward [for such living]. “It will be fulfilled while he still lives, And his branch will not be green [but shall wither away].
