Holy Scripture

Job 15:22

A church father on this verse
“"He has been appointed to be food for vultures." "He has already been given over to the power of the sword." Notice this again. His death is pitiful. It is not conformed to the common law of nature but is the result of violence, war and battle. After his death, he will not have a burial or a funeral and will not only…”
John Chrysostom, 5th c. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 15:17-23B

In context

20All the life of the ungodly is spent in care, And the years granted to the oppressor are numbered.

21And his terror is in his ears: Just when he seems to be at peace, His overthrow will come.

— Job 15:22 —

23And he has been appointed to be food for vultures; And he knows within himself that he is doomed to be a carcass: And a dark day shall carry him away as with a whirlwind.

24Distress also and anguish shall come upon him: He shall fall as a captain in the first rank.
