Context of Job 15:24
22He despairs of his return from darkness; he is marked for the sword. 23He wanders about as food for vultures; he knows the day of darkness is at hand. Distress and anguish terrify him, overwhelming him like a king poised to attack. 25For he has stretched out his hand against God and has vaunted himself against the Almighty, 26rushing headlong at Him with a thick, studded shield.
