“That is why snares surround you, and why sudden fear terrifies you,
withdraw Your hand far from me, and do not assail me with Your terror.
Terrifying sounds are in his ears; in a time of peace, marauders attack him.
On every side terrors frighten him and harass his every step.
then know that God has wronged me and encircled me with His net.
But you are full of judgment on the wicked, judgment and justice take hold of you!
The hungry consumes his harvest, taking it even from among thorns, and the thirsty pants after their wealth.
For the arrows of Shaddai are in me, my spirit drinks in their poison; God’s terrors line up against me.
On the wicked He will rain down fire, brimstone and scorching wind as the portion of their cup!
when your terror comes like a storm and your calamity sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when trouble and distress overwhelm you!
When they are saying, “Shalom and safety,” sudden destruction comes upon them like a woman having birth pains in the womb—there is no way they will escape.
