📖 Job 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, shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
-
5
"Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.
-
6
The light shall be dark in his tent. His lamp above him shall be put out.
-
7
The steps of his strength shall be shortened. His own counsel shall 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 in the way.
-
11
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall chase him at his heels.
-
12
His strength shall be famished. Calamity shall be ready at his side.
-
13
The members of his body shall be devoured. The firstborn of death shall devour his members.
-
14
He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusts. He shall be brought to the king of terrors.
-
15
There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur shall be scattered on his habitation.
-
16
His roots shall be dried up beneath. Above shall his branch be cut off.
-
17
His memory shall perish from the earth. 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 have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.
-
20
Those who come after shall 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."
