King James Version

Job 18:5-14

5Yea, the lightH216 of the wickedH7563 shall be put outH1846, and the sparkH7632 of his fireH784 shall not shineH5050.

6The lightH216 shall be darkH2821 in his tabernacleH168, and his candleH5216 shall be put outH1846 with him.1

7The stepsH6806 of his strengthH202 shall be straitenedH3334, and his own counselH6098 shall cast him downH7993.

8For he is castH7971 into a netH7568 by his own feetH7272, and he walkethH1980 upon a snareH7639.

9The ginH6341 shall takeH270 him by the heelH6119, and the robberH6782 shall prevailH2388 against him.

10The snareH2256 is laidH2934 for him in the groundH776, and a trapH4434 for him in the wayH5410.2

11TerrorsH1091 shall make him afraidH1204 on every sideH5439, and shall driveH6327 him to his feetH7272.3

12His strengthH202 shall be hungerbittenH7457, and destructionH343 shall be readyH3559 at his sideH6763.

13It shall devourH398 the strengthH905 of his skinH5785: even the firstbornH1060 of deathH4194 shall devourH398 his strengthH905.4

14His confidenceH4009 shall be rooted outH5423 of his tabernacleH168, and it shall bringH6805 him to the kingH4428 of terrorsH1091.
