Proverbs 1:27
When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
KJV
Cum irruerit repentina calamitas, et interitus quasi tempestas ingruerit ; quando venerit super vos tribulatio et angustia :
Vulgate
καὶ ὡς ἂν ἀφίκηται ὑμῖν ἄφνω θόρυβος, ἡ δὲ καταστροφὴ ὁμοίως καταιγίδι παρῇ, καὶ ὅταν ἔρχηται ὑμῖν θλίψις καὶ πολιορκία, ἢ ὅταν ἔρχηται ὑμῖν ὄλεθρος.
LXX
When your fear cometh as a storm, And your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come upon you.

In this verse is threatened the vengeance of God on the wicked unbelieving Israelites, who were God's visible people, and who lived under the means of grace. The expression I have chosen for my text, "Their foot shall slide in due time," seems to imply that they were always exposed to destruction, as one that stands or walks in slippery places is always exposed to fall.
