Job Chapter 18
|
|||
|
|
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
|
|||
|
|
2 “How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
|
|||
|
|
3 Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
|
|||
|
|
4 You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?
|
|||
|
|
5 “Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire won’t shine.
|
|||
|
|
6 The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.
|
|||
|
|
7 The steps of his strength will be shortened. His own counsel will cast him down.
|
|||
|
|
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
|
|||
|
|
9 A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
|
|||
|
|
10 A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.
|
|||
|
|
11 Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.
|
|||
|
|
12 His strength will be famished. Calamity will be ready at his side.
|
|||
|
|
13 The members of his body will be devoured. The firstborn of death will devour his members.
|
|||
|
|
14 He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will be brought to the king of terrors.
|
|||
|
|
15 There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur will be scattered on his habitation.
|
|||
|
|
16 His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above.
|
|||
|
|
17 His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street.
|
|||
|
|
18 He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
|
|||
|
|
19 He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.
|
|||
|
|
20 Those who come after will be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
|
|||
|
|
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn’t know God.”
