Terrors overwhelm him like a flood; at night a whirlwind carries him off.

What man is like Job, who drinks derision like water!

Justice must flow like torrents of water, righteous actions like a stream that never dries up.

However, you must not eat blood – pour it out on the ground like water.

For my sighing comes in place of my food, and my groanings flow forth like water.

For you will forget your trouble; you will remember it like water that has flowed away.

how much less man, who is abominable and corrupt, who drinks in evil like water!

As in water the face is reflected as a face, so a person’s heart reflects the person.

You are destructive like water and will not excel, for you got on your father’s bed, then you defiled it – he got on my couch!

However, you must not eat its blood; you must pour it out on the ground like water.

For recognition of the Lord’s sovereign majesty will fill the earth just as the waters fill up the sea.

They will no longer injure or destroy on my entire royal mountain. For there will be universal submission to the Lord’s sovereignty, just as the waters completely cover the sea.

For the Lord is ready to destroy Babylon, and put an end to her loud noise. Their waves will roar like turbulent waters. They will make a deafening noise.
