20All his days the wicked man suffers torment,y
the ruthless man through all the years stored up for him.z
21Terrifying sounds fill his ears;a
when all seems well, marauders attack him.b
22He despairs of escaping the realm of darkness;c
he is marked for the sword.d
23He wanders aboute for food like a vulture;f
he knows the day of darknessg is at hand.h
24Distress and anguishi fill him with terror;j
troubles overwhelm him, like a kingk poised to attack,

ESVEnglish Standard Version
The wicked man writhes in pain all his days,
through all the years that are laid up for the ruthless.
Dreadful sounds are in his ears;
in prosperity the destroyer will come upon him.
He does not believe that he will return out of darkness,
and he is marked for the sword.
He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’
He knows that a day of darkness is ready at his hand;
distress and anguish terrify him;
they prevail against him, like a king ready for battle.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
A wicked person writhes in pain all his days,
throughout the number of years reserved for the ruthless.
Dreadful sounds fill his ears;
when he is at peace, a robber attacks him.
He doesn’t believe he will return from darkness;
he is destined for the sword.
He wanders about for food, asking, “Where is it?”
He knows the day of darkness is at hand.
Trouble and distress terrify him,
overwhelming him like a king prepared for battle.

NLTNew Living Translation
“The wicked writhe in pain throughout their lives.
Years of trouble are stored up for the ruthless.
The sound of terror rings in their ears,
and even on good days they fear the attack of the destroyer.
They dare not go out into the darkness
for fear they will be murdered.
They wander around, saying, ‘Where can I find bread?’
They know their day of destruction is near.
That dark day terrifies them.
They live in distress and anguish,
like a king preparing for battle.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
“All of the wicked one’s days he is writhing,
even through the number of years that are laid up for the tyrant.
Sounds of terror are in his ears;
in prosperity the destroyer will come against him.
He cannot trust that he will return from darkness,
and he himself is destined for the sword.
“He is wandering for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’
He knows that a day of darkness is ready at hand.
Anguish and distress terrify him;
they overpower him like a king ready for the battle.

KJV 1900King James Version
The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days,
And the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
A dreadful sound is in his ears:
In prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness,
And he is waited for of the sword.
He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it?
He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid;
They shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
