Job 18
American Standard Version
1Then answered BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747, and saidH559,
2How long will ye hunt for wordsH4405?ConsiderH995, and afterwards we will speakH1696.3Wherefore are we counted as beasts,Andare become unclean in your sight?4Thou that tearest thyself in thine angerH639,Shall the earthH776 be forsaken for thee?Or shall the rockH6697 be removed out of its placeH4725?5Yea, the lightH216 of the wickedH7563 shall be put out,And the spark of his fireH784 shall not shineH5050.6The lightH216 shall be darkH2821 in his tentH168,And his lampH5216 above him shall be put out.7The stepsH6806 of his strengthH202 shall be straitened,And his own counselH6098 shall castH7993 him downH7993.8For he is cast into a netH7568 by his own feetH7272,And he walketh upon the toils.9A gin shall takeH2388 him by the heelH6119,Anda snareH6341 shall lay holdH2388 on him.10A noose is hidH2934 for him in the groundH776,And a trap for him in the way.11TerrorsH1091 shall make him afraid on every side,And shall chase him at his heels.12His strengthH202 shall beH1961 hunger-bitten,And calamityH343 shall beH1961 ready at his sideH6763.13The members of his body shall be devouredH398,Yea, the first-born of deathH4194 shall devourH398 his members.14He shall be rooted out of his tentH168 wherein he trusteth;And he shall be brought to the kingH4428 of terrorsH1091.15There shall dwellH7931 in his tentH168 that which is none of his:Brimstone shall be scatteredH2219 upon his habitation.16His rootsH8328 shall be driedH3001 up beneath,And above shall his branch be cut off.17His remembranceH2143 shall perishH6 from the earthH776,And he shall have no nameH8034 in the streetH2351.18He shall be drivenH1920 from lightH216 into darknessH2822,And chased out of the worldH8398.19He shall have neither son nor son’s son among his peopleH5971,Nor any remaining where he sojourned.20They that come after shall be astonished at his dayH3117,As they that went before were affrighted.21SurelyH389 such are the dwellingsH4908 of the unrighteous,And this is the placeH4725 of him that knoweth not GodH410.
