Job 27:20 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Terrors take hold on him From the sense of approaching death or judgment. As waters As violently and irresistibly as a river breaking its banks, or a deluge of waters bears down all before it. A tempest stealeth, &c. God's wrath cometh upon him like a tempest, and withal unexpectedly like a thief in the night.
