Job 3:25
Compare all
23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,
aAnd whom God has hedged in? 
24 For my sighing comes before1 I eat,
And my groanings pour out like water. 
25 For the thing I greatly afeared has come upon me,
And what I dreaded has happened to me. 
26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;
I have no rest, for trouble comes.”

Job 3:25

For the thing which I greatly reared - Literally, the fear that I feared; or, I feared a fear, as in the margin. While I was in prosperity I thought adversity might come, and I had a dread of it. I feared the loss of my family and my property; and both have occurred. I was not lifted up: I knew that what I possessed I had from Divine Providence, and that he who gave might take away. I am not stripped of my all as a punishment for my self-confidence.
