Job  


18 : 1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
18 : 2 When will you end these speeches? Be sensible, and then we can talk.
18 : 3 Why are we regarded as cattle and considered stupid in your sight?
18 : 4 You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger, is the earth to be abandoned for your sake? Or must the rocks be moved from their place?
18 : 5 The lamp of the wicked is snuffed out; the flame of his fire stops burning.
18 : 6 The light in his tent becomes dark; the lamp beside him goes out.
18 : 7 The vigor of his step is weakened; his own schemes throw him down.
18 : 8 His feet thrust him into a net and he wanders into its mesh.
18 : 9 A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare holds him fast.
18 : 10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground; a trap lies in his path.
18 : 11 Terrors startle him on every side and dog his every step.
18 : 12 Calamity is hungry for him; disaster is ready for him when he falls.
18 : 13 It eats away parts of his skin; death`s firstborn devours his limbs.
18 : 14 He is torn from the security of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors.
18 : 15 Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling.
18 : 16 His roots dry up below and his branches wither above.
18 : 17 The memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name in the land.
18 : 18 He is driven from light into darkness and is banished from the world.
18 : 19 He has no offspring or descendants among his people, no survivor where once he lived.
18 : 20 Men of the west are appalled at his fate; men of the east are seized with horror.
18 : 21 Surely such is the dwelling of an evil man; such is the place of one who knows not God."
