Job 15:20-24

20 The wicked man writhes in pain all his days,
through all the ^ayears that are laid up for ^bthe ruthless.
21 ^cDreadful sounds are in his ears;
in ^dprosperity the destroyer will come upon him.
22 He does not believe that he will return out of darkness,
and he is marked for the sword.
23 He ^ewanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’
He knows that a day of darkness is ready at his hand;
24 distress and anguish terrify him;
they ^fprevail against him, like a king ready for battle.

Proverbs 14:32

32 ^gThe wicked is overthrown through his evildoing,
but ^hthe righteous finds refuge in his death.

Proverbs 28:1

1 ⁱThe wicked flee when no one pursues,
but ^jthe righteous are bold as a lion.

Isaiah 8:22

22 ^kAnd they will look to the earth, but behold, distress and darkness, the gloom of anguish. And they will be thrust into ^lthick darkness.

Hosea 13:3

3 Therefore they shall be ^mlike the morning mist
or ⁿlike the dew that goes early away,
^olike the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor
or ^plike smoke from a window.
