Holy Scripture

Job 18:11

A church father on this verse
“Terrors shall make him afraid on every side. And, whereas all that the bad man does, he fears to undergo too, and reckons that to be doing by all others toward himself, which he himself prepares for all others, whom he is able, it rightly follows. For he imagines all men to be such toward himself, as he himself strive…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XIV

10His snare is hidden in the earth, And that which shall take him is by the path.

12Vex him with distressing hunger: And a signal destruction has been prepared for him.

13Let the soles of his feet be devoured: And death shall consume his beauty.
