Job 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.
