Therefore snares are all around you, and sudden terror overwhelms you,
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on its mesh. A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare lays hold of him. A rope is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the path.
withdraw your hand far from me, and let not dread of you terrify me.
For the arrows of the Almighty are in me; my spirit drinks their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.
Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
know then that God has put me in the wrong and closed his net about me.
Do not be afraid of sudden terror or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes, for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.
