Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready for battle.
All Commentaries on Job 15:24 Go To Job 15
Ephrem The Syrian
AD 373
This means that pain and anguish catches [the wicked] in the middle, just like in a field where on one side a king threatens with inimical banners and on the other side pillaging robbers impend, so that his mind and soul cannot be at rest.
