God’s Word Translation

Job 18:5-14

5“Indeed, the light of the wicked is snuffed out. The flame of his fire stops glowing.

6The light in his tent becomes dark, and the lamp above him is snuffed out.

7“His healthy stride is shortened, and his own planning trips him up.

8His own feet get him tangled in a net as he walks around on its webbing.

9A trap catches his heel. A snare holds him.

10A rope is hidden on the ground for him. A trap is on his path ⌞to catch⌟ him.

11“Terrors suddenly pounce on him from every side and chase him every step he takes.

12Hunger undermines his strength. Disaster is waiting beside him.

13His skin is eaten away by disease. Death’s firstborn son eats away at the limbs of his body.

14He is dragged from the safety of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors.
