📖 Job 18
-
1
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
-
2
When will yee make an ende of your words? cause vs to vnderstande, and then wee will speake.
-
3
Wherefore are wee counted as beastes, and are vile in your sight?
-
4
Thou art as one that teareth his soule in his anger. Shall the earth bee forsaken for thy sake? or the rocke remoued out of his place?
-
5
Yea, the light of the wicked shalbe quenched, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine.
-
6
The light shalbe darke in his dwelling, and his candle shalbe put out with him.
-
7
The steps of his strength shalbe restrained, and his owne counsell shall cast him downe.
-
8
For hee is taken in the net by his feete, and he walketh vpon the snares.
-
9
The grenne shall take him by the heele, and the theefe shall come vpon him.
-
10
A snare is layed for him in the ground, and a trappe for him in the way.
-
11
Fearefulnesse shall make him afrayde on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.
-
12
His strength shalbe famine: and destruction shalbe readie at his side.
-
13
It shall deuoure the inner partes of his skinne, and the first borne of death shall deuoure his strength.
-
14
His hope shalbe rooted out of his dwelling, & shal cause him to go to the King of feare.
-
15
Feare shall dwell in his house (because it is not his) and brimstone shalbe scattered vpon his habitation.
-
16
His rootes shalbe dryed vp beneath, and aboue shall his branche be cut downe.
-
17
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall haue no name in the streete.
-
18
They shall driue him out of the light vnto darkenesse, and chase him out of the world.
-
19
Hee shall neither haue sonne nor nephewe among his people, nor any posteritie in his dwellings.
-
20
The posteritie shalbe astonied at his day, and feare shall come vpon the ancient.
-
21
Surely such are the habitations of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
