Job 15:17-25

17“I’ll tell you; listen to me! I’ll relate what I have seen.

18I’ll tell you what wise people have declared and what was not kept secret from their ancestors.

19(The land was given to them alone, and no stranger passed through their land.)

20“The wicked person is tortured all his days. Only a few years are reserved for the ruthless person.

21Terrifying sounds are in his ears. While he enjoys peace, the destroyer comes to him.

22He doesn’t believe he’ll return from the dark. He is destined ⌞to be killed⌟ with a sword.

23He wanders around for food and asks, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that his ruin is close at hand.

24“The day of darkness troubles him. Distress and anguish terrify him like a king ready for battle.

25He stretches out his hand against God and attacks the Almighty like a warrior.
