📖 Job 18
-
1
¶ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
-
2
How long [will it be ere] ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
-
3
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, [and] reputed vile in your sight?
-
4
He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
-
5
¶ Yea, 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 tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
-
7
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
-
8
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
-
9
The gin shall take [him] by the heel, [and] the robber shall prevail against him.
-
10
The snare [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 drive him to his feet.
-
12
His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction [shall be] ready at his side.
-
13
It shall devour the strength of his skin: [even] the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
-
14
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
-
15
It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because [it is] none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
-
16
His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
-
17
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
-
18
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
-
19
He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
-
20
They that come after [him] shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
-
21
Surely such [are] the dwellings of the wicked, and this [is] the place [of him that] knoweth not God.
