📖 Job 18
-
1
Then answered Baldad the Suhite, and sayde:
-
2
when wil ye make an ende of youre wordes? Marcke well, and considre, we wil speake also.
-
3
Wherfore are we counted as beestes, & reputed so vyle in youre sight?
-
4
Why destroyest thou thy self with anger? Shal ye earth be forsaken, or the stones remoued out of their place because of ye?
-
5
Shal not the light of the vngodly be put out? yee the flame of his fyre shal not burne.
-
6
The light shalbe darcke in his dwellinge, & his candle shalbe put out with him.
-
7
His presumptuous goinges shal be kepte in, and his owne councell shal cast him downe.
-
8
For his fete shalbe taken in the nett, and he shal walke in the snare.
-
9
His fote shalbe holden in the gilder, and the thurstie shal catch him.
-
10
The snare is layed for him in the grounde, and a pytfall in the waye.
-
11
Fearfulnesse shal make him afrayed on euery syde, that he shall not knowe, where to get out.
-
12
Honger shalbe his substaunce, and my?fortune shall hange vpon him.
-
13
He shall eate his owne skynne, yee his owne armes shall he deuoure, beynge a firstborne of death.
-
14
All his comforte and hope shalbe roted out of his dwellynge, very fearfulnesse shall brynge him to the kynge.
-
15
Other men shall dwel in his house (which now is none of his) and brymstone shalbe scatered vpon his habitacion.
-
16
His rotes shalbe dryed vp beneth, & aboue shall his haruest be cut downe.
-
17
His remembraunce shall perish from the earth, & his name shall not be praysed in the stretes:
-
18
he shalbe dryuen from the light into darcknesse, and be cast clene out of the worlde.
-
19
He shall nether haue children ner kyn?folkes amonge his people, no ner eny posterite in his countre:
-
20
yonge & olde shalbe astonyshed at his death.
-
21
Soch are now the dwellynges of the wicked, and this is ye place of him that knoweth not God.
