23. He wanders about for food like a vulture;he knows the day of darkness is at hand.
24. Distress and anguish fill him with terror;troubles overwhelm him, like a king poised to attack,
25. because he shakes his fist at Godand vaunts himself against the Almighty,
26. defiantly charging against himwith a thick, strong shield.
27. ‘Though his face is covered with fatand his waist bulges with flesh,
28. he will inhabit ruined townsand houses where no one lives,houses crumbling to rubble.
