Job 15:34
Douay-Rheims
For the congregation of the hypocrite is barren, and fire shall devour their tabernacles, who love to take bribes.
George Leo Haydock
Congregation, or family. — Bribes. Literally, “presents,” which (Haydock) frequently were not given freely, but extorted as a real tribute. (Calmet) — Septuagint, “for the death of the wicked is a martyrdom,” or proof of his impiety. “But fire shall consume the houses of the present (or bribe) receivers.”
