15 Terrors are turned upon me; They chase mine honor as the wind; And my welfare is passed away as a cloud.
15 He hath turned against me terrors, It pursueth as the wind mine abundance, And as a thick cloud, Hath my safety passed away.
15 Terrors are turned against me; they pursue mine honour as the wind; and my welfare is passed away like a cloud.
15 Terrors are turned on me. They chase my honor as the wind. My welfare has passed away as a cloud.
