22 He despairs of escaping the darkness,and looks ever for the sword;
23 A wanderer, food for vultures,he knows destruction is imminent.
24 A day of darkness fills him with dread;distress and anguish overpower him,like a king expecting an attack.
25 Because he has stretched out his hand against Godand arrogantly challenged the Almighty,
26 Rushing defiantly against him,with the stout bosses of his shields.
27 Although he has covered his face with his crassness,padded his loins with blubber,
28 He shall dwell in ruined cities,in houses that are deserted,crumbling into rubble.
