Job 18

MKJV^{(i) 1} And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said, ² Until when will you set a snare for words? Understand, and afterwards we will speak. ³ Why are we counted as cattle, or seem stupid in your sight? ⁴ He tears himself in his anger; shall the earth be forsaken for you? And shall the rock be moved out of its place? ⁵ Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine. ⁶ The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp shall be put out with him. ⁷ The steps of his strength shall be hampered, and his own plans shall throw him down. ⁸ For he is thrown into a net by his own feet, and he walks on a net. ⁹ The trap shall take him by the heel, and the noose shall hold sway over him. ¹⁰ The pitfall is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way. ¹¹ Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall dash him at his feet. ¹² His strength shall be hunger-bitten, and trouble shall be ready at his side. ¹³ It shall devour the parts of his skin; the first-born of death consumes his parts. ¹⁴ His hope shall be rooted out of his tent, and you marched to the king of terrors. ¹⁵ What is not his shall dwell in his tent; brimstone shall be scattered on his home. ¹⁶ His roots shall be dried up beneath, and his branch shall wither above. ¹⁷ His memory shall perish from the earth, and there is no name to him on the face of the street. ¹⁸ They drive him from light to darkness, and they make him flee from the world. ¹⁹ He shall have neither son nor kinsman among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. ²⁰ Those after him shall be amazed at his day; and those before were seized with horror. ²¹ Surely these are the dwellings of the perverse, and this the place that has not known God.
