Geneva1599 - Job - 18

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

18:2  When will yee make an ende of your words? cause vs to vnderstande, and then wee will speake.

18:3  Wherefore are wee counted as beastes, and are vile in your sight?

18:4  Thou art as one that teareth his soule in his anger. Shall the earth bee forsaken for thy sake? or the rocke remoued out of his place?

18:5  Yea, the light of the wicked shalbe quenched, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine.

18:6  The light shalbe darke in his dwelling, and his candle shalbe put out with him.

18:7  The steps of his strength shalbe restrained, and his owne counsell shall cast him downe.

18:8  For hee is taken in the net by his feete, and he walketh vpon the snares.

18:9  The grenne shall take him by the heele, and the theefe shall come vpon him.

18:10  A snare is layed for him in the ground, and a trappe for him in the way.

18:11  Fearefulnesse shall make him afrayde on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.

18:12  His strength shalbe famine: and destruction shalbe readie at his side.

18:13  It shall deuoure the inner partes of his skinne, and the first borne of death shall deuoure his strength.

18:14  His hope shalbe rooted out of his dwelling, and shall cause him to go to the King of feare.

18:15  Feare shall dwell in his house (because it is not his) and brimstone shalbe scattered vpon his habitation.

18:16  His rootes shalbe dryed vp beneath, and aboue shall his branche be cut downe.

18:17  His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall haue no name in the streete.

18:18  They shall driue him out of the light vnto darkenesse, and chase him out of the world.

18:19  Hee shall neither haue sonne nor nephewe among his people, nor any posteritie in his dwellings.

18:20  The posteritie shalbe astonied at his day, and feare shall come vpon the ancient.

18:21  Surely such are the habitations of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
