Job27:20

20. Terrours take hold on him as Waters , a Tempest stealeth him away in the night .

From the sense of his approaching death or Judgment.

Either 1. in abundance, one terror after another. Or 2. violently and irresistibly, as a River breaking its Banks, or a Deluge of Waters bears down and overwhelms all that is before it.

Gods Wrath and judgment cometh upon him forcibly like a Tempest, and withal secretly and unexpectedly like a Thief in the night.

Marginal references: Ch. 18. 11.
