Job 15:18-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
18What wise people have told, And have not concealed from their fathers, 19To whom alone the land was given, And no stranger passed among them. 20The wicked person writhes in pain all his days, And the years reserved for the ruthless are numbered. 21 Sounds of terror are in his ears; While he is at peace the destroyer comes upon him. 22He does not believe that he will return from darkness, And he is destined for the sword. 23He wanders about for food, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that a day of darkness is at hand.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 15
18what the wise have declared and not concealed, that came from their ancestors, 19to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them. 20A wicked person writhes in pain all his days, throughout the number of years reserved for the ruthless. 21Dreadful sounds fill his ears; when he is at peace, a robber attacks him. 22He doesn’t believe he will return from darkness; he is destined for the sword. 23He wanders about for food, asking, "Where is it?" He knows the day of darkness is at hand.New Living Translation
Chapter 15
18And it is confirmed by the reports of wise men who have heard the same thing from their fathers — 19from those to whom the land was given long before any foreigners arrived.
20'The wicked writhe in pain throughout their lives. Years of trouble are stored up for the ruthless.
21The sound of terror rings in their ears, and even on good days they fear the attack of the destroyer.
22They dare not go out into the darkness for fear they will be murdered.
23They wander around, saying, ‘Where can I find bread?’ They know their day of destruction is near.
English Standard Version
Chapter 15
18(what wise men have told, without hiding it from their fathers, 19to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them). 20The wicked man writhes in pain all his days, through all the years that are laid up for the ruthless. 21 Dreadful sounds are in his ears; in prosperity the destroyer will come upon him. 22He does not believe that he will return out of darkness, and he is marked for the sword. 23He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that a day of darkness is ready at his hand;New International Version
Chapter 15
18what the wise have declared, hiding nothing received from their ancestors 19(to whom alone the land was given when no foreigners moved among them): 20All his days the wicked man suffers torment, the ruthless man through all the years stored up for him. 21Terrifying sounds fill his ears; when all seems well, marauders attack him. 22He despairs of escaping the realm of darkness; he is marked for the sword. 23He wanders about for food like a vulture; he knows the day of darkness is at hand.New King James Version
