24 (A)When they try to escape from an iron sword,
    a bronze bow will shoot them down.
25 Arrows stick through their bodies;
    the shiny points drip with their blood,
    and terror grips their hearts.
26 Everything they have saved is destroyed;
    a fire not lit by human hands
    burns them and all their family.

24 Though he flees(A) from an iron weapon,
    a bronze-tipped arrow pierces him.(B)
25 He pulls it out of his back,
    the gleaming point out of his liver.
Terrors(C) will come over him;(D)
26     total darkness(E) lies in wait for his treasures.
A fire(F) unfanned will consume him(G)
    and devour what is left in his tent.(H)

25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
