Job 30:13
11 Because God has unstrung my bow and afflicted me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.
12 The rabble arises at my right; they lay snares for my feet and build siege ramps against me.
They tear up my path; they profit from my destruction, with no one to restrain them.
14 They advance as through a wide breach; through the ruins they keep rolling in.
15 Terrors are turned loose against me; they drive away my dignity as by the wind, and my prosperity has passed like a cloud.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
