Context of Job 27:22
20Terrors overtake him like a flood; A tempest steals him away in the night. 21The east wind carries him away, and he is gone, For it whirls him away from his place. For it will hurl at him without sparing; He will surely try to flee from its power. 23Men will clap their hands at him And will hiss him from his place.
