20Terrors overtake him like waters; a whirlwind stealeth him away in the night. 21The east wind carrieth him away and he is gone; and as a storm it hurleth him out of his place.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-23Verses 11-23 Job's friends, on the same subject, spoke of the misery of wicked men before death as proportioned to their crimes; Job considered that if it were not so, still the consequences of their death would be dreadful.
