21 a sound of terror pierces their ears;when safe, raiders overtake them.
22 They can’t count on turning away from darkness;they are destined for a sword.
23 They wander about for bread. "Where is it?"They know that their day of darkness is fixed.
24 Adversity and stress scare them,master them like a king ready to strike;
25 for they raise a fist against Godand try to overpower the Almighty.
26 They run toward him aggressively,with a massive and strong shield.
27 They cover their face with greaseand make their loins gross.
