📖 Job 18
-
1
Then aunswered Bildad the Suhite, and saide:
-
2
When wyll ye make an ende of your wordes? Marke well, and then we wyll speake.
-
3
Wherfore are we counted as beastes, and reputed so vyle in your sight?
-
4
He destroyeth him selfe with his anger: Shall the earth be forsaken, or any stone remoued out of his place because of thee?
-
5
Yea, the light of the vngodly shalbe put out, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine.
-
6
The light shall be darke in his dwelling, and his candle shall be put out with him.
-
7
The steppes of his strength shalbe restrayned, and his owne counsaile shall cast him downe:
-
8
For his feete are taken as it were in the net, & he walketh vpon the snares.
-
9
The grinne shall take him by the heele, and it shall catche him that is thirstie of blood.
-
10
The snare is layde for him in the grounde, and a pitfall in the way.
-
11
Fearefulnesse shall make him afraide on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.
-
12
Hunger shalbe his strength, and destruction shalbe redye at his side.
-
13
It shall eate the strength of his owne skinne, euen the first borne of death shall eate his strength.
-
14
His hope shalbe rooted out of his dwelling, and shall bring him to the king of feare.
-
15
Other men shall dwell in his house, and it shalbe none of his, and brimstone shall be scattered vpon his habitation.
-
16
His rootes shalbe dryed vp beneath, and aboue shall his braunche be cut downe.
-
17
His remembraunce shall perishe from the earth, and he shall haue no name in the streete.
-
18
They shall driue him from the light into darkenesse, and chaste him cleane out of the worlde.
-
19
He shall neither haue children nor kinsfolkes among his people, no nor any posteritie in his dwellinges.
-
20
They that come after him, shalbe astonyed at his day, and they that go before shalbe afrayde.
-
21
Such are now the dwellinges of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
