"Distress and anguish make him afraid. They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle."
— Job 15:24 (World English Bible)
Surrounding context
A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer shall come on him.
He doesn’t believe that he shall return out of darkness. He is waited for by the sword.
He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
Distress and anguish make him afraid. They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty;
he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers;
because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.
