15 Terrors H1091 are turned H2015 upon me: they pursue H7291 my soul H5082 as the wind: H7307 and my welfare H3444 passeth away H5674 as a cloud. H5645
Therefore they shall be as the morning H1242 cloud, H6051 and as the early H7925 dew H2919 that passeth away, H1980 as the chaff H4671 that is driven with the whirlwind H5590 out of the floor, H1637 and as the smoke H6227 out of the chimney. H699
For the thing which I greatly H6343 feared H6342 is come H857 upon me, and that which I was afraid H3025 of is come H935 unto me.
If I say, H559 I will forget H7911 my complaint, H7879 I will leave off H5800 my heaviness, H6440 and comfort H1082 myself: I am afraid H3025 of all my sorrows, H6094 I know H3045 that thou wilt not hold me innocent. H5352
My heart H3820 is sore pained H2342 within H7130 me: and the terrors H367 of death H4194 are fallen H5307 upon me. Fearfulness H3374 and trembling H7461 are come H935 upon me, and horror H6427 hath overwhelmed H3680 me.

Chapter 30
It is a melancholy "But now' which this chapter begins with. Adversity is here described as much to the life as prosperity was in the foregoing chapter, and the height of that did but increase the depth of this. God sets the one over-against the other, and so did Job, that his afflictions might appear the more grievous, and consequently his case the more pitiable.
Job 30:1-14
Here Job makes a very large and sad complaint of the great disgrace he had fallen into, from the height of honour and reputation, which was exceedingly grievous and cutting to such an ingenuous spirit as Job's was. Two things he insists upon as greatly aggravating his affliction:-
Job 30:15-31
In this second part of Job's complaint, which is very bitter, and has a great many sorrowful accents in it, we may observe a great deal that he complains of and some little that he comforts himself with.
