ruin, disaster, calamity, destruction
This noun captures catastrophic ruin or disaster, particularly sudden calamity that overtakes a person. Job uses it three times to explore responses to others' misfortune and his own suffering. Job 30:24 questions whether one cries out in their own ruin. Job 31:29 protests that he never rejoiced at his enemy's disaster. Proverbs 24:22 warns that calamity from both God and king will arise suddenly against rebels. The term emphasizes the devastating, often unexpected nature of downfall—whether as deserved judgment or undeserved suffering that tests moral character.
