Job 27,20

Judgment

18 Han bygger sitt hus som et edderkoppnett,
Eller et ly laget av en vaktmann.

19 Han legger seg rik, men aldri igjen;
Han åpner øynene, og det er borte.

Redsel overtar ham som en flom;
En storm feier ham bort om natten.

21 Østvinden bærer ham bort, og han forsvinner;
Den feier ham ut av hans sted.

22 Den kaster seg mot ham uten medlidenhet;
Han vil sikkert prøve å unnslippe dens kraft.

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.
