Job 15:20-26

Revised Standard Version

²⁰ The wicked man writhes in pain all his days,
    through all the years that are laid up for the ruthless.
²¹ Terrifying sounds are in his ears;
    in prosperity the destroyer will come upon him.
²² He does not believe that he will return out of darkness,
    and he is destined for the sword.
²³ He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’
    He knows that a day of darkness is ready at his hand;
²⁴ distress and anguish terrify him;
    they prevail against him, like a king prepared for battle.
²⁵ Because he has stretched forth his hand against God,
    and bids defiance to the Almighty,
²⁶ running stubbornly against him
    with a thick-bossed shield;
