23 He wanders about for food like a vulture;

he knows the day of darkness is at hand.

24 Distress and anguish fill him with terror;

troubles overwhelm him, like a king poised to attack,

25 because he shakes his fist at God

and vaunts himself against the Almighty,

23 He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it?

He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid;

They shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God,

And strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.

23 They wander around, saying, ‘Where can I find bread?’

They know their day of destruction is near.

24 That dark day terrifies them.

They live in distress and anguish,

like a king preparing for battle.

25 For they shake their fists at God,

defying the Almighty.

23 He wanders about for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’

They overpower him, like a king ready for battle.

25 For he stretches out his hand against God,

And acts defiantly against the Almighty,

23 They wander around and will become food for vultures.

They know darkness will soon come.

24 Worry and suffering terrify them;

they overwhelm them, like a king ready to attack,

25 because they shake their fists at God

and try to get their own way against the Almighty.

23 He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it?

He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

24 Distress and anguish make him afraid;

They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

25 Because he hath stretched out his hand against God,

And behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;

23 He wandereth abroad for bread, —where may it be? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. 24 Distress and anguish make him afraid; they prevail against him, as a king ready for the battle. 25 For he hath stretched out his hand against •God, and strengthened himself against the Almighty:

23 He wanders around for food and asks, ‘Where is it?’

He knows that his ruin is close at hand. 

24 “The day of darknesstroubles him. 

Distress and anguish terrify him 

like a king ready for battle. 

25 He stretches out his hand against God 

and attacks the Almighty like a warrior. 

23 He wanders about for food, saying, “Where is it?”

He knows the day of darkness is at hand.

24 Trouble and distress terrify him,

overwhelming him like a king prepared for battle.

25 For he has stretched out his hand against God

and has arrogantly opposed the Almighty.

23 They wander abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’

They know that a day of darkness is ready at hand;

24 distress and anguish terrify them;

they prevail against them, like a king prepared for battle.

25 Because they stretched out their hands against God,

and bid defiance to the Almighty,

23 “He is wandering for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’

He knows that a day of darkness is ready at hand.

24 Anguish and distress terrify him;

they overpower him like a king ready for the battle.

25 Because he stretched out his hand against God,

and he was arrogant to Shaddai;

23 They wander around. They are like food for vultures.

They know that the day they will die is near.

24 Suffering and pain terrify them.

Their troubles overpower them,

like a king ready to attack his enemies.

25 They shake their fists at God.

They brag about themselves and oppose the Mighty One.

23 “He wanders about for food, saying, ‘Where is it?’

He knows that a day of darkness is at hand.

24 “Distress and anguish terrify him,

They overpower him like a king ready for the attack,

25 Because he has stretched out his hand against God

And conducts himself arrogantly against the Almighty.
