Job 15:21 TSK

Dreadful sound

“Terrors frighten him on every side
And chase at his heels.

But the Lord God called to Adam, and said to him, “Where are you?”

As for those who are left of you, I will bring despair (lack of courage, weakness) into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; the sound of a scattered leaf will put them to flight, and they will flee as if [running] from the sword, and will fall even when no one is chasing them.

For the Lord had caused the Aramean army to hear the sound of chariots, and the sound of horses, the sound of a great army. They had said to one another, “The king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come [and fight] against us.”

I also will laugh at your disaster;
I will mock when your dread and panic come,

In prosperity

Now there was a day when Job’s sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,

That the triumphing of the wicked is short,
And the joy of the godless is only for a moment?

As for those who are left of you, I will bring despair (lack of courage, weakness) into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; the sound of a scattered leaf will put them to flight, and they will flee as if [running] from the sword, and will fall even when no one is chasing them.

Then Abigail came to Nabal, and he was holding a feast in his house [for the shearers], like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s mood was joyous because he was very drunk; so she told him nothing at all until the morning light.

Surely You set the wicked-minded and immoral on slippery places;
You cast them down to destruction.

That though the wicked sprout up like grass
And all evildoers flourish,
They will be destroyed forever.

On an appointed day Herod dressed himself in his royal robes, sat on his throne (tribunal, rostrum) and began delivering a speech to the people.

While they are saying, “Peace and safety [all is well and secure!]” then [in a moment unforeseen] destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains on a woman with child, and they will absolutely not escape [for there will be no way to escape the judgment of the Lord].

The destroyer

And do not murmur [in unwarranted discontent], as some of them did—and were destroyed by the destroyer.

They have as king over them, the angel of the abyss (the bottomless pit); in Hebrew his name is Abaddon (destruction), and in Greek he is called Apollyon (destroyer-king).
