Charles Ellicott Commentary Job 20:25

"He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body; Yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall: Terrors are upon him." — Job 20:25 (ASV)

Yes, terrors overtake him. —Even when he has escaped a second and a third calamity, terrors will still be upon him. This was all perfectly true in a sense, indeed, even a truism, but it was utterly false in its application to Job himself.
