“I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.”
"I was at ease, and he broke me in two; he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces; he set me up as his target." Job recalls his former security and then describes violent destruction. The sequence—at ease, then shattered—emphasizes the sudden reversal. God seized, dashed, targeted—all active verbs expressing divine violence. Job is reduced to fragments, to a target.
