Job 18:11-21
Terrors frighten him on every side and harass him at every step.His strength is depleted; disaster lies ready for him to stumble.Parts of his skin are eaten away; death’s firstborn consumes his limbs.He is ripped from the security of his tent and marched away to the king of terrors.Nothing he owned remains in his tent. Burning sulfur is scattered over his home.His roots below dry up, and his branches above wither away.All memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name anywhere.He is driven from light to darkness and chased from the inhabited world.He has no children or descendants among his people, no survivor where he used to live.Those in the west are appalled at his fate, while those in the east tremble in horror.Indeed, such is the dwelling of the unjust man, and this is the place of the one who does not know God.

Jeremiah 21:4-10
‘ This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I am about to repel the weapons of war in your hands, those you are using to fight the king of Babylon and the Chaldeans who are besieging you outside the wall, and I will bring them into the center of this city.I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and a strong arm, with anger, fury, and intense wrath.I will strike the residents of this city, both people and animals. They will die in a severe plague.Afterward— this is the LORD’s declaration— King Zedekiah of Judah, his officers, and the people— those in this city who survive the plague, the sword, and the famine— I will hand over to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, to their enemies, yes, to those who intend to take their lives. He will put them to the sword; he won’t spare them or show pity or compassion.’“ But tell this people,‘ This is what the LORD says: Look, I am setting before you the way of life and the way of death.Whoever stays in this city will die by the sword, famine, and plague, but whoever goes out and surrenders to the Chaldeans who are besieging you will live and will retain his life like the spoils of war.For I have set my face against this city to bring disaster and not good— this is the LORD’s declaration. It will be handed over to the king of Babylon, who will burn it.’

Job 20:23-26
When he fills his stomach, God will send his burning anger against him, raining it down on him while he is eating.If he flees from an iron weapon, an arrow from a bronze bow will pierce him.He pulls it out of his back, the flashing tip out of his liver. Terrors come over him.Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. A fire unfanned by human hands will consume him; it will feed on what is left in his tent.

Then they will lament for you and say of you,‘ How you have perished, city of renown, you who were populated from the seas! She who was powerful on the sea, she and all of her inhabitants inflicted their terror.Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your downfall; the islands in the sea are alarmed by your demise.’”For this is what the Lord GOD says:“ When I make you a ruined city like other deserted cities, when I raise up the deep against you so that the mighty waters cover you,then I will bring you down to be with those who descend to the Pit, to the people of antiquity. I will make you dwell in the underworld like the ancient ruins, with those who descend to the Pit, so that you will no longer be inhabited or display your splendor in the land of the living.I will make you an object of horror, and you will no longer exist. You will be sought but will never be found again.” This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.

You will find no peace among those nations, and there will be no resting place for the sole of your foot.

You will only be oppressed and crushed continually.You will be driven mad by what you see.
