Job 20:24 Context
22In the fulnesse of his sufficiencie, he shalbe in straites: euery hand of the wicked shall come vpon him. 23When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the furie of his wrath vpon him, and shall raine it vpon him while he is eating. 24He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steele shall strike him through. 25It is drawen, and commeth out of the body; yea the glistering sword commeth out of his gall; terrours are vpon him. 26All darknesse shalbe hid in his secret places: a fire not blowen shall consume him; it shall goe ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
