Job 15:21

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

20 A wicked man writhes in pain all his days; only a few years are reserved for the ruthless.

Sounds of terror fill his ears; in his prosperity the destroyer attacks him.

22 He despairs of his return from darkness; he is marked for the sword.

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

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
