New International Version (NIV)

12Calamity is hungry for him;

disaster is ready for him when he falls.

12“His strength is famished,

And disaster is ready at his side.

12“The strength [of the wicked] is famished and weakened,

And disaster is ready at his side [if he stops].

12His strength is depleted,

and calamity is ready at his side.

12His strength shall be hunger-bitten,

And calamity shall be ready at his side.

12His strength shalbe famine: and destruction shalbe readie at his side.

12His strength will be famished.

Calamity will be ready at his side.

12Trouble would like to eat them up.

Danger waits for them when they fall.

12Now he is hungry

and his strength has disappeared.

Terrible trouble is ready to take hold of him

whenever it has the chance.

12His sorrow is hungry, || And calamity is ready at his side.
