Job 15:21 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Job 15:21

Compare all

19 To whom alone the¹ land was given,
And ^ano alien passed among them:

20 The wicked man writhes with pain all his days,
^aAnd the number of years is hidden from the oppressor.

21 ¹Dreadful sounds are in his ears;
^aIn prosperity the destroyer comes upon him.

22 He does not believe that he will ^areturn from darkness,
For a sword is waiting for him.

23 He ^awanders about for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’
He knows ^bthat a day of darkness is ready at his hand.

24 Trouble and anguish make him afraid;
They overpower him, like a king ready for¹ battle.

Job 15:21

An evil conscience conceives alarm at every sudden sound, though it be in a time of peace ("prosperity"), when there is no real danger (Leviticus 26:36; Proverbs 28:1; II Kings 7:6).
