Job 27:20

Read in context

Job 27:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut set up by a watchman.

19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.

20 Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest sweeps him away in the night.

21 The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.

22 It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.
