Job 18

And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said, 2 “Until when will you make ends of words? Consider, and afterward we will speak. \* 3 Why are we regarded as beasts, {as if} we are stupid in your eyes? 4 The one tearing himself in his nose— will the earth be forsaken for your sake, or will the rock move from its place? \* 5 Indeed, the light of the wicked goes out; the flame of his fire will not shine. 6 The light in his tent will be dark, and his lamp will go out above him. \* 7 The steps of his strength will shorten, and his plan will cast him down. 8 For he will be cast into a net by his feet, and he will wander into a pitfall. \* 9 A snare will seize {him} by the heel; a trap will hold onto him. 10 His rope is hidden in the ground, and his trap for him {on} the path. 11 Terrors on every side will frighten him, and they will chase him at his feet. \* 12 His strength becomes hungry, and disaster {is} prepared at his side. 13 It devours parts of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his parts. \* 14 He is pulled from his tent, his safety, and one marches him to the king of terrors. 15 One will dwell in his tent, {which is} not to him; sulfur is scattered upon his home. \* 16 Below, his roots dry up, and above, his branch withers. 17 His memory will perish from the earth, and no name {will be} to him upon the face of the land. \* 18 They will drive him from light into darkness, and they will chase him from the world. 19 No son {is} to him, and no grandson among his people, and no survivor in his dwellings. 20 The ones after will wonder at his day, and the ones before will seize horror. \* 21 Surely these {are} the dwellings of the wicked, and this {is} the place of one {who} does not know God.” \*
