21 Sounds of terror are in his ears; in prosperity the destroyer will come against him.
22 He cannot trust that he will return from darkness, and he himself is destined for the sword.

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.
