Job 15:22

Read in context

Job 15:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

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.
