Context of Job 18:14

12His strength shall be hunger-bitten and calamity shall be ready for his halting. 13It shall devour the members of his body, yea, the firstborn of death shall devour his members. He shall be rooted out of his tent wherein he trusteth; and he shall be brought to the king of terrors. 15There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation. 16His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
