Job 15:20–21

20 All his days the wicked man suffers torment,

the ruthless man through all the years stored up for him.

21 Terrifying sounds fill his ears;

when all seems well, marauders attack him.

20 The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days,

And the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.

21 A dreadful sound is in his ears:

In prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.

20 “The wicked writhe in pain throughout their lives.

Years of trouble are stored up for the ruthless.

21 The sound of terror rings in their ears,

and even on good days they fear the attack of the destroyer.

20 The wicked man writhes with pain all his days,

And the number of years is hidden from the oppressor.

21 Dreadful sounds are in his ears;

In prosperity the destroyer comes upon him.

20 The wicked suffer pain all their lives;

the cruel suffer during all the years saved up for them.

21 Terrible sounds fill their ears,

and when things seem to be going well, robbers attack them.

20 The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days,

Even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.

21 A sound of terrors is in his ears;

In prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.

20 All his days the wicked man is tormented, and numbered years are allotted to the violent. 21 The sound of terrors is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer cometh upon him.

20 “The wicked person is tortured all his days. 

Only a few years are reserved for the ruthless person. 

21 Terrifying sounds are in his ears. 

While he enjoys peace, the destroyer comes to him. 

20 A wicked man writhes in pain all his days;

only a few years are reserved for the ruthless.

21 Dreadful sounds fill his ears;

when he is at peace, a robber attacks him.

20 The wicked writhe in pain all their days,

through all the years that are laid up for the ruthless.

21 Terrifying sounds are in their ears;

in prosperity the destroyer will come upon them.

20 “All of the wicked one’s days he is writhing,

even through the number of years that are laid up for the tyrant.

21 Sounds of terror are in his ears;

in prosperity the destroyer will come against him.

20 Sinful people always suffer pain.

Mean people suffer all their lives.

21 Terrifying sounds fill their ears.

When everything seems to be going well,

robbers attack them.

20 “The wicked man writhes in pain all his days,

And numbered are the years stored up for the ruthless.

21 “Sounds of terror are in his ears;

While at peace the destroyer comes upon him.
