11 All around (A)sudden terrors frighten him,
And (B)harass him at every step.
12 His strength is (C)famished,
And disaster is ready at his side.
13 [a]It devours parts of his skin,
The firstborn of death (D)devours his [b]limbs.
14 He is (E)torn from [c]the security of his tent,
And [d]they march him before the king of (F)terrors.
15 [e]Nothing of his dwells in his tent;
(G)Brimstone is scattered on his home.
16 His (H)roots are dried below,
And his (I)branch withers above.
17 (J)The memory of him perishes from the earth,
And he has no name abroad.
18 [f]He is driven from light (K)into darkness,
And (L)chased from the inhabited world.
19 He has no (M)offspring or descendants among his people,
Nor any survivor where he resided.
20 Those in the west are appalled at (N)his [g]fate,
And those in the east are seized with horror.
21 Certainly these are the (O)dwellings of the wicked,
And this is the place of him who does not know God.”

Why have I seen it?
They are terrified,
They are (A)retreating,
And their (B)warriors are defeated
And have taken refuge in flight,
Without facing back.
[a](C)Terror is on every side!”
Declares the Lord.
