Job 15,20

Judgment

18 hva de vise har proklamert,
og ikke skjult fra sine forfedre,

19 til hvem alene landet ble gitt
da ingen fremmed passerte blant dem:

Den onde personen lider pine alle sine dager,
og årene reservert for de hensynsløse er begrenset.

21 Skremmende lyder fyller hans ører;
når han er i fred, angriper røvere ham.

22 Han forventer ikke frihet fra mørket;
han er merket for sverdet.

Read the whole chapter

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
