Amplified Bible
Job 18:11-21
11Terrors frighten him on every side And chase at his heels.
12The strength [of the wicked] is famished and weakened, And disaster is ready at his side [if he stops].
13His skin is devoured by disease; The firstborn of death [the worst of diseases] consumes his limbs.
14He is torn from his tent which he trusted [for safety], And he is marched and brought to the king of terrors (death).
15Nothing of his dwells in his tent; Brimstone (burning sulfur) is scattered over his dwelling [to purify it].
16The roots [of the wicked] are dried up below, And above, his branch is cut off and withers.
17Memory of him perishes from the earth, And he has no name on the street.
18He is driven and propelled from light into darkness, And chased from the inhabited world.
19He has no offspring or prosperity among his people, Nor any survivor where he sojourned.
20Those in the west are astonished and appalled at his fate, And those in the east are seized with horror.
21Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked and the ungodly, And such is the place of him who does not know or recognize or honor God.”
