Job 3:25-26

“For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet, yet trouble came.”

Thoughts on this Scripture

These words reflect the deeper feelings of the soul in sorrow and the attraction one fear brings upon him.

It shows our fears’ poetic power and how they are compressed to convey emotion to the reader's mind. We become what we fear.

Imagery layered to generate meaning is what marks poetry.
