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.
