'Ready' in the Bible

“He who is at ease has contempt for misfortune,But misfortune is ready [and anxiously waiting] for those whose feet slip.

“Distress and anxiety terrify him,They overpower him like a king ready for battle.

“My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished,The grave is ready for me.

“The strength [of the wicked] is famished and weakened,And disaster is ready at his side [if he stops].

“My belly is like unvented wine;Like new wineskins it is about to burst.
