Job 15:24-26

24 distress and anguish terrify him;
they ^dprevail against him, like a king ready for battle.

with a thickly bossed shield;

Job 40:8-9

8 Will you even put me in the wrong?
Will you condemn me that ^gyou may be in the right?
9 Have you ^han arm like God,
and can you thunder with ⁱa voice like his?

Psalms 2:2-9

2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his ^jAnointed, saying,
3 “Let us ^kburst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
4 He who ^lsits in the heavens ^mlaughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
5 Then he will speak to them in his ⁿwrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6 “As for me, I have ^oset my King
on ^pZion, my ^qholy hill.”
7 I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, ^r“You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and ^sthe ends of the earth your possession.
9 You shall ^tbreak ^{▼▼Revocalization yields (compare Septuagint) You shall rule} them with ^va rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like ^wa potter’s vessel.”
