Job
Chapter 18
- 1
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
- 2
How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
- 3
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
- 4
He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
- 5
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
- 6
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
- 7
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
- 8
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
- 9
The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
- 10
The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
- 11
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
- 12
His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
- 13
It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
- 14
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
- 15
It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
- 16
His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
- 17
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
- 18
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
- 19
He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
- 20
They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
- 21
Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
