Job 15:17-25

17“I will explain to you; listen to me, and what I have seen, I will declare,

18what wise men declare, hiding nothing, from the tradition of their ancestors,

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

20All his days the wicked man suffers torment, throughout the number of the years that are stored up for the tyrant.

21Terrifying sounds fill his ears; in a time of peace marauders attack him.

22He does not expect to escape from darkness; he is marked for the sword;

23he wanders about – food for vultures; he knows that the day of darkness is at hand.

24Distress and anguish terrify him; they prevail against him like a king ready to launch an attack,

25for he stretches out his hand against God, and vaunts himself against the Almighty,
