Job 18:14
12 His strength is depleted, and calamity is ready at his side.
13 It devours patches of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.
He is torn from the shelter of his tent and is marched off to the king of terrors.
15 Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur rains down on his dwelling.
16 The roots beneath him dry up, and the branches above him wither away.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
