King James Version (KJV)

Job 20:24

“He shall flee from the iron weapon, [and] the bow of steel shall strike him through.”

Verse in context — Job 20

In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.

[When] he is about to fill his belly, [God] shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain [it] upon him while he is eating.

He shall flee from the iron weapon, [and] the bow of steel shall strike him through.

It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors [are] upon him.

All darkness [shall be] hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
