For he has covered his face with his fat,
Adding layers of fat to his thighs [giving himself up to pleasures],
²⁸ 
And he has lived in desolate [God-forsaken] cities,
In houses which no one should inhabit,
Which were destined to become heaps [of ruins];
²⁹ 
He will not become rich, nor will his wealth endure;
And his grain will not bend to the earth nor his possessions be extended on the earth.
