Jubilee2000 - Job - 18

18:1  Then Bildad, the Shuhite, answered and said,

18:2  How long [will it be ere] ye make an end of words? Understand, and afterwards we will speak.

18:3  Why are we counted as beasts? Are we vile in your sight?

18:4  O thou that dost tear thy soul in thine anger; shall the earth be forsaken because of thee and shall the rocks be removed out of their place?

18:5  The light of the wicked shall certainly be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

18:6  The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

18:7  The steps of his strength shall be cut down, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

18:8  For a net shall be cast at his feet, and he shall walk upon a network.

18:9  The snare shall take [him] by the heel, [and] the robber shall prevail against him.

18:10  The cord is hidden in the ground and a trap for him in the way.

18:11  Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and his own feet shall drive him away.

18:12  His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction [shall be] ready at his side.

18:13  They shall devour the protection of his skin; the firstborn of death shall devour his members.

18:14  His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent, and he shall be brought to the king of terrors.

18:15  He shall dwell in his tent, as if it were not his; brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

18:16  His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above his branch shall be cut off.

18:17  His memory shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the streets.

18:18  He shall be driven from the light into the darkness and chased out of the world.

18:19  He shall have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any to succeed him in his dwellings.

18:20  Those that come after [him] shall be dismayed at his day, as those that went before were overcome with fear.

18:21  Surely such [are] the dwellings of the wicked, and this [is] the place [of him that] does not know God.:
