מדרש על איוב 15:28

15 Job said, (Job 15:28-34), "He dwells in cities doomed to ruin, in houses that shall not be lived in, that are destined to become heaps of rubble. He will not be rich; his wealth will not endure; his produce shall not bend to the earth. He will never get away from the darkness; flames will sear his shoots; he will pass away by the breath of his mouth. He will not be trusted; he will be misled by falsehood, and falsehood will be his recompense. He will wither before his time, his boughs never having flourished. He will drop his unripe grapes like a vine; he will shed his blossoms like an olive tree. For the company of the impious is desolate; fire consumes the tents of the briber." "He dwells in cities doomed to ruin, in houses that shall not be lived in, that are destined to become heaps of rubble" - this was Korach, who was the administrator of the house of Pharaoh, and he had the keys to his treasuries in his hand. The Holy One, blessed be He, said to him, "What benefit is it to you, you do not control them?" As it is stated, "in houses that shall not be lived in, that are destined to become heaps of rubble." And to who are they destined? To those who are exiled. To Israel that was exiled from Egypt. "He will not be rich; his wealth will not endure" - even when he died. "His produce shall not bend to the earth. He will never get away from the darkness" - forever will he not avoid darkness. "Flames will sear his shoots" - our Rabbis said, "When the wife of Korach descended to Gehinnom, it scorched her." "He will pass away by the breath of his mouth" - that he should not say, "Shmuel will arise from me in the future, and I will be saved for his sake" - rather, "he will pass away by the breath of his mouth." "He will not be trusted; he will be misled by falsehood" - the Holy One, blessed be He, yells out to the two hundred and fifty men who dissented with him, "Do not trust him, he is mistaken, 'he will not be trusted' when he is misled.'" "He will wither before his time" - before he reaches his end to die, he will kill himself. "He will drop his unripe grapes like a vine" - this is his wife. "He will shed his blossoms like an olive tree" - these are his sons. And why? "For the company of the impious is desolate; fire consumes the tents of the briber." "And a fire went out from the Lord" (Numbers 16:35).
