Job 15:23
Compare all
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.
27 “Thougha he has covered his face with his fatness,
And made his waist heavy with fat, 
28 He dwells in desolate cities,
In houses which no one inhabits,
Which are destined to become ruins.
29 He will not be rich,
Nor will his wealth acontinue,
Nor will his possessions overspread the earth.
