Job 15:31-33

New International Reader's Version

³¹ Don’t let them fool themselves
    by trusting in what is worthless.
    They won’t get anything out of it.
³² Even before they die, they will dry up.
    No matter what they do, it won’t succeed.
³³ They’ll be like vines
    that are stripped of their unripe grapes.
They’ll be like olive trees
    that drop their flowers.
