Job's honor is turned into extreme contempt15. and his prosperity into calamity Terrors overwhelm me The Hebrew word for "terrors" is "בַּלָּהוֹת" (ballahot), which conveys a sense of sudden fear or panic. In the context of Job's suffering, these terrors are not just external threats but internal, psychological torments that consume him. Historically, Job's life was once marked by stability and respect, but now he is engulfed by fears that he cannot control. This phrase reflects the depth of Job's despair, as he feels besieged by forces beyond his understanding or ability to manage, a common theme in the human experience of suffering. my dignity is driven away as by the wind my prosperity vanishes like a cloud my honour:" i.e., my soul; or it may be, "Thou (i.e., God) chasest." Verse 15. - Terrors are turned upon me Job seems to pass here from his human persecutors to his internal sufferings of mind and body. "Terrors' take hold upon him. He experiences in his sleep horrible dreams and visions (see Job 7:14), and even in his waking hours he is haunted by fears. The "terrors of God do set themselves in array against him" (Job 6:4). God seems to him as One that watches, and "tries him every moment" (Job 7:18), seeking occasion against him, and never leaving him an instant's peace (Job 7:19). These terrors, he says, pursue my soul as the wind; literally, pursue mine honour, or my dignity. They flutter the calm composure that befits a godly man, disturb it, shake it, and for a time at any rate, cause terrors and shrinkings of soul. Under these circumstances, my welfare passeth away as a cloud. It is not only my happiness, but my real welfare, that is gone. Body and soul are equally in suffering - the one shaken with fears and disturbed with doubts and apprehensions; the other smitten with a sore disease, so that there is no soundness in it.Parallel Commentaries ...
