Job 15,24

Judgment

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

23 Han vandrer etter mat og sier: 'Hvor er det?'
Han vet at mørkets dag er nær.

Nød og angst skremmer ham;
de overmanner ham som en konge klar for kamp,

25 fordi han har strukket ut sin hånd mot Gud,
og vist arroganse mot Den Allmektige.

26 Han angriper trassig Ham med et tykt, sterkt skjold.

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.
