22 At the height of his success[a] distress will come to him;(A)
the full weight of misery[b] will crush him.
23 When he fills his stomach,
God will send His burning anger against him,
raining(B) it down on him while he is eating.[c]
24 If he flees from an iron weapon,
an arrow from a bronze bow will pierce him.
