Job 30:16
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.
And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction grip me.
17 Night pierces my bones, and my gnawing pains never rest.
18 With great force He grasps my garment; He seizes me by the collar of my tunic.
