Job 15:20-26

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁰ A wicked person writhes in pain all his days,
throughout the number of years reserved for the ruthless.
²¹ Dreadful sounds fill his ears;
when he is at peace, a robber attacks him.
²² He doesn’t believe he will return from darkness;
he is destined for the sword.^(A)
23 He wanders about for food, asking, ‘Where is it? ’
He knows the day of darkness is at hand.
²⁴ Trouble^(B) and distress terrify him,
overwhelming him like a king prepared for battle.
²⁵ For he has stretched out his hand^(C) against God
and has arrogantly opposed the Almighty.
²⁶ He rushes headlong at him
with his thick, studded shields.
