Bible verse
He despairs of his return from darkness; he is marked for the sword.
Job 15:22 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 15.
18 what was declared by wise men and was not concealed from their fathers,
19 to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them.
20 A wicked man writhes in pain all his days; only a few years are reserved for the ruthless.
21 Sounds of terror fill his ears; in his prosperity the destroyer attacks him.
22 He despairs of his return from darkness; he is marked for the sword.
23 He wanders about as food for vultures; he knows the day of darkness is at hand.
24 Distress and anguish terrify him, overwhelming him like a king poised to attack.
25 For he has stretched out his hand against God and has vaunted himself against the Almighty,
26 rushing headlong at Him with a thick, studded shield.
