Job 30:15

Terrors are turned loose ¹  on me; they drive away ²  my honor like the wind, and like a cloud my deliverance has passed away.

Terrors overwhelm me; my dignity is driven away as by the wind, my safety vanishes like a cloud.

"Terrors are turned against me; They pursue my honor as the wind, And my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.

I live in terror now. They hold me in contempt, and my prosperity has vanished as a cloud before a strong wind.

Terrors assault me--my dignity in shreds, salvation up in smoke.

Fears have come on me; my hope is gone like the wind, and my well-being like a cloud.

Terrors are turned upon me; my honor is pursued as by the wind, and my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.

Terrors are turned upon me; They pursue my honor as the wind, And my prosperity has passed like a cloud.

Terrors are turned loose ¹  on me; they drive away ²  my honor like the wind, and like a cloud my deliverance has passed away.

¹ tn The passive singular verb (Hophal) is used with a plural subject (see GKC 388 §121.b).

² tc This translation assumes that “terrors” (in the plural) is the subject. Others emend the text in accordance with the LXX, which has, “my hope is gone like the wind.”
