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,

26 defiantly charging against him

with a thick, strong shield.

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.

26 He runneth upon him, even on his neck,

Upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:

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.

26 Holding their strong shields,

they defiantly charge against him.

24 Trouble and anguish make him afraid;

They overpower him, like a king ready for battle.

25 For he stretches out his hand against God,

And acts defiantly against the Almighty,

26 Running stubbornly against Him

With his strong, embossed shield.

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.

26 They stubbornly charge at God

with thick, strong shields.

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;

26 He runneth upon him with a stiff neck,

With the thick bosses of his bucklers;

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: 26 He runneth against him, with outstretched neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers;

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. 

26 He stubbornly charges at him with a thick shield. 

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.

26 He rushes headlong at Him

with his thick, studded shields.

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,

26 running stubbornly against him

with a thick-bossed shield;

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;

26 he stubbornly runs against him

with his thick-bossed shield.

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.

26 They boldly charge against him

with their thick, strong shields.

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.

26 “He rushes headlong at Him

With his massive shield.
