“A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him. A dreadful: Heb. A sound of fears”
Job 15:21 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 15:21
The wicked live in fear: 'A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.' Inner terror haunts the wicked even during external prosperity. The 'dreadful sound' suggests constant dread of judgment. This describes guilty conscience—sin brings psychological torment. While true for the wicked, Eliphaz wrongly assumes Job's distress proves guilt. Anxiety can arise from suffering without indicating wickedness.
