When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him.
It will rain on him while he is eating.

When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him.
It will rain on him while he is eating.
24
He will flee from the iron weapon.
The bronze arrow will strike him through.

He draws it out, and it comes out of his body.
Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver.
Terrors are on him.

All darkness is laid up for his treasures.
An unfanned fire will devour him.
It will consume that which is left in his tent.
