Job 15:31-33

New Century Version

³¹ The wicked should not fool themselves by trusting what is useless.
    If they do, they will get nothing in return.
³² Their branches will dry up before they finish growing
    and will never turn green.
³³ They will be like a vine whose grapes are pulled off before they are ripe,
    like an olive tree that loses its blossoms.
