Bible verse
Distress and anguish terrify him, overwhelming him like a king poised to attack.
Job 15:24 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 15.
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.
27 Though his face is covered with fat and his waistline bulges with flesh,
28 he will dwell in ruined cities, in abandoned houses destined to become rubble.
