Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 18 of Job. Bildad again describes the destiny of the wicked through a long series of images of darkness, traps, loss, and terror. The speech presents a traditional pattern of judgment against the wicked, but its implicit application to Job becomes increasingly problematic. The description of the wicked person’s fate functions almost as a personal accusation.

Um und um wird ihn schrecken plötzliche Furcht, daß er nicht weiß, wo er hinaus soll.
De todas partes lo asombrarán temores, Y haranle huir desconcertado.
Lo aterrorizan espantos por todas partes y lo persiguen a cada paso.
Des terreurs l'assiègent, l'entourent, Le poursuivent par derrière.
Spaventi li conturberanno d’ogn’intorno, E li faranno fuggire in rotta.
Os assombros o espantarão de todos os lados, e o perseguirão a cada passo.
四面的驚嚇使他害怕, 在他腳跟後面追趕他。
