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. 
25 For he stretches out his hand against God,
And acts defiantly against the Almighty,
26 Running stubbornly against Him
With his strong, embossed shield.
