| Job 18:1 |
Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said, |
| Job 18:2 |
How long will you hunt for words? / Consider, and afterward we will speak. |
| Job 18:3 |
Why are we considered [to be] like beasts / And have become unclean in your eyes? |
| Job 18:4 |
You who tear yourself in your anger, / Will the earth be forsaken for your sake, / Or will the rock be removed from its place? |
| Job 18:5 |
Indeed the light of the wicked goes out, / And the flame of his fire does not shine. |
| Job 18:6 |
The light is darkness in his tent, / And his lamp above him goes out. |
| Job 18:7 |
The steps of his strength are confined, / And his counsel has cast him down. |
| Job 18:8 |
For he has been cast into a net by his own feet, / And he walks about on the webbing of a pitfall. |
| Job 18:9 |
A snare grabs [him] by the heel; / A trap lays hold on him. |
| Job 18:10 |
A rope is hidden for him on the ground, / And a trap for him, on the path. |
| Job 18:11 |
Terrors frighten him all around / And chase him at his heels. |
| Job 18:12 |
His strength is famished, / And calamity is prepared at his side. |
| Job 18:13 |
It devours the members of his body; / The firstborn of death devours his members. |
| Job 18:14 |
He is rooted out of his tent, in which he trusts; / And he is made to march to the king of terrors. |
| Job 18:15 |
That which is not his dwells in his tent; / Brimstone is scattered upon his habitation. |
| Job 18:16 |
Beneath, his roots are dried up; / And above, his branch is withered. |
| Job 18:17 |
The memory of him perishes from the earth, / And he has no name on the open plain. |
| Job 18:18 |
He is thrust out from the light to the darkness / And driven from the world. |
| Job 18:19 |
He has no posterity and no progeny among his people, / And there are none remaining where he sojourned. |
| Job 18:20 |
Those who come after will be astonished at his day, / As those who went before were horrified. |
| Job 18:21 |
Surely these are the dwellings of the unjust, / And this is the place of him who does not know God. |
