Job 27:13-23
“ This is the portion of a wicked person from God, And the inheritance which tyrants receive from the Almighty:Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; And his descendants will not be satisfied with bread.His survivors will be buried because of the plague, And their widows will not be able to weep.Though he piles up silver like dust, And prepares garments as plentiful as the clay,He may prepare it, but the righteous will wear it And the innocent will divide the silver.He has built his house like the spider’s web, Or a hut which the watchman has made.He lies down rich, but never again; He opens his eyes, and it no longer exists.Terrors overtake him like a flood; A storm steals him away in the night.The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; For it sweeps him away from his place.For it will hurl at him without mercy; He will certainly try to flee from its power.People will clap their hands at him, And will whistle at him from their places.

Judges 16:21-30
Then the Philistines seized him and gouged out his eyes; and they brought him down to Gaza and restrained him with bronze chains, and he became a grinder in the prison.However, the hair of his head began to grow again after it was shaved off.Now the governors of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to celebrate, for they said,“ Our god has handed Samson our enemy over to us.”When the people saw him, they praised their god, for they said,“ Our god has handed our enemy over to us, Even the destroyer of our country, Who has killed many of us.”It so happened when they were in high spirits, that they said,“ Call for Samson, that he may amuse us.” So they called for Samson from the prison, and he entertained them. And they made him stand between the pillars.Then Samson said to the boy who was holding his hand,“ Let me feel the pillars on which the house rests, so that I may lean against them.”Now the house was full of men and women, and all the governors of the Philistines were there. And about three thousand men and women were on the roof looking on while Samson was entertaining them.Then Samson called to the Lord and said,“ Lord God, please remember me and please strengthen me just this time, O God, that I may at once take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes.”Then Samson grasped the two middle pillars on which the house rested, and braced himself against them, the one with his right hand and the other with his left.And Samson said,“ Let me die with the Philistines!” And he pushed outwards powerfully, so that the house fell on the governors and all the people who were in it. And the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he killed during his lifetime.

Job 15:29-34
He will not become rich, nor will his wealth endure; And his property will not stretch out on the earth.He will not escape from darkness; The flame will dry up his shoot, And he will go away by the breath of His mouth.Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; For his reward will be emptiness.It will be accomplished before his time, And his palm branch will not be green.He will drop off his unripe grape like the vine, And will cast off his flower like the olive tree.For the company of the godless is barren, And fire consumes the tents of the corrupt.
