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.
