25 He pulls it out of his back,
the flashing tip out of his liver.[a]
Terrors come over him.(A)
26 Total darkness is reserved for his treasures.
A fire unfanned by human hands will consume(B) him;
it will feed on what is left in his tent.
27 The heavens will expose his iniquity,(C)
and the earth will rise up against him.(D)
