Job 15:22
20 A wicked man writhes in pain all his days; only a few years are reserved for the ruthless.
21 Sounds of terror fill his ears; in his prosperity the destroyer attacks him.
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.
24 Distress and anguish terrify him, overwhelming him like a king poised to attack.
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.
