Job 15:17-25

17Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen,

18what the wise have declared and not concealed, that came from their ancestors,

19to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them.

20A wicked person writhes in pain all his days, throughout the number of years reserved for the ruthless.

21Dreadful sounds fill his ears; when he is at peace, a robber attacks him.

22He doesn’t believe he will return from darkness; he is destined for the sword.

23He wanders about for food, asking, “Where is it?” He knows the day of darkness is at hand.

24Trouble and distress terrify him, overwhelming him like a king prepared for battle.

25For he has stretched out his hand against God and has arrogantly opposed the Almighty.
