Job 18:5-14

5“The light of the wicked indeed goes out, And the flame of his fire does not shine.

6The light is dark in his tent, And his lamp beside him is put out.

7The steps of his strength are shortened, And his own counsel casts him down.

8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walks into a snare.

9The net takes him by the heel, And a snare lays hold of him.

10A noose is hidden for him on the ground, And a trap for him in the road.

11Terrors frighten him on every side, And drive him to his feet.

12His strength is starved, And destruction is ready at his side.

13It devours patches of his skin; The firstborn of death devours his limbs.

14He is uprooted from the shelter of his tent, And they parade him before the king of terrors.
