Job 15:17-25

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

18what wise men have declared and did not hide from their ancestors,

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

20All his days the wicked suffers torment, and numbered are the years stored up for the tyrant.

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

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

23He wanders about for bread— ‘Where is it?’ He knows that the day of darkness is at hand.

24Distress and anguish terrify him; they overpower him like a king poised to attack,

25for he raises his hand against God and flaunts himself against Shaddai,
