"I have been reduced to nothing. You have taken away my desire like a wind, and my health has passed by like a cloud. "
— Job 30:15, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.”
“Terrors are turned upon me; They chase mine honor as the wind; And my welfare is passed away as a cloud. ”
“Terrors have turned on me. They chase my honor as the wind. My welfare has passed away as a cloud.”
“Terrors are turned loose on me; they drive away my honor like the wind, and like a cloud my deliverance has passed away.”
“I am brought to nothing: as a wind thou hast taken away my desire: and my prosperity hath passed away like a cloud.”
“Fears have come on me; my hope is gone like the wind, and my well-being like a cloud.”
“Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.”
Immediately, upon rising, my calamities rise up to the right. They have overturned my feet and have pressed me down along their way like waves.
They have diverted my journeys; they have waited to ambush me, and they have prevailed, and there was no one who might bring help.
They have rushed upon me, as when a wall is broken or a gate opened, and they have been pulled down into my miseries.
I have been reduced to nothing. You have taken away my desire like a wind, and my health has passed by like a cloud.
But now my soul withers within myself, and the days of affliction take hold of me.
At night, my bone is pierced with sorrows, and those who feed on me, do not sleep.
By the sheer number of them my clothing is worn away, and they have closed in on me like the collar of my coat.
