Job  


18 : 1 ThenBildad the Shuhite answered and said:
18 : 2 How long will youhunt for words?Consider, and then we will speak.
18 : 3 Why are we counted ascattle?Why are we stupid in your sight?
18 : 4 You whotear yourself in your anger,shall the earth be forsaken for you,orthe rock be removed out of its place?
18 : 5 Indeed,the light of the wicked is put out,and the flame of his fire does not shine.
18 : 6 The light isdark in his tent,and his lamp above him is put out.
18 : 7 His strong steps are shortened,and hisown schemes throw him down.
18 : 8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet,and he walks on its mesh.
18 : 9 A trap seizes him by the heel;a snare lays hold of him.
18 : 10 A rope is hidden for him in the ground,a trap for him in the path.
18 : 11 Terrors frighten him on every side,and chase him at his heels.
18 : 12 His strength is famished,and calamity isready for his stumbling.
18 : 13 It consumes the parts of his skin;the firstborn of death consumes his limbs.
18 : 14 He is torn from the tent in which he trustedand is brought tothe king of terrors.
18 : 15 In his tent dwells that which is none of his;sulfur is scattered over his habitation.
18 : 16 Hisroots dry up beneath,and his brancheswither above.
18 : 17 Hismemory perishes from the earth,and he has no name in the street.
18 : 18 He is thrust from light into darkness,and driven out of the world.
18 : 19 He has noposterity or progeny among his people,and no survivor where he used to live.
18 : 20 They of the west are appalled at hisday,andhorror seizes them of the east.
18 : 21 Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous,such is the place of him whoknows not God.
