12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.

13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.

14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

    and calamity is (A)ready for his stumbling.
13 It consumes the parts of his skin;

14 He is torn from the tent in which he trusted
    and is brought to (C)the king of terrors.
