Job 15:21

¹¹Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.

³For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape.

³⁶“‘As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword. They will fall when no one pursues.

¹⁰Don’t grumble, as some of them also grumbled, and perished by the destroyer.

¹¹They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is “Abaddon”,^[+] but in Greek, he has the name “Apollyon”.

⁷though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

¹³It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, ¹⁴that a messenger came to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them, ¹⁵and the Sabeans attacked, and took them away. Yes, they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁶While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God has fallen from the sky, and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁷While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans made three bands, and swept down on the camels, and have taken them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

¹⁸While he was still speaking, there came also another, and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, ¹⁹and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you.”

²²In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress will overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery will come on him. ²³When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating. ²⁴He will flee from the iron weapon. The bronze arrow will strike him through. ²⁵He draws it out, and it comes out of his body. Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver. Terrors are on him.

⁵that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment? ⁶Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds, ⁷yet he will perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

²⁰Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.
