As through a wide breach they come In the midst of the ruin they roll themselves upon me
They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: In the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
As through a wide breach they come in; amid the crash [of falling walls] they roll themselves upon me.
As through a wide breach they come: In the midst of the ruin they roll themselves upon me.
They advance as if through a destroyed wall; they roll along beneath the ruin.
They have rushed upon me, as when a wall is broken or a gate opened, and they have been pulled down into my miseries.
They have rushed in upon me, as when a wall is broken, and a gate opened: and have rolled themselves down to my miseries.
Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream:
They mar my path, They set forward my calamity, Even men that have no helper.
Terrors are turned upon me, They chase mine honour as the wind; And my welfare is passed away as a cloud.
The cords of death compassed me, And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
