18:2 "When are you going to stop your word hunt? Think first, and then we can talk.
18:3 Why do you think we're like dumb animals? Do you think we're stupid?
18:4 You're tearing yourself to pieces in your anger. Will the land be abandoned because of you, or the rock be moved from its place?"
18:5 "Indeed, the light of the wicked is extinguished; the flame from his fire doesn't shine.
18:6 Light in his tent is dark, and his lamp goes out above him.
18:7 His strong steps are restricted, and his own advice trips him up.
18:8 "For he has stumbled into a net with his own feet; he walked right into the network!
18:9 The trap seizes him by the heel; a snare tightens its hold on him.
18:10 A rope lies hidden in the dirt; a trap lies waiting for him where he is walking."
18:11 "He is petrified by terror that surrounds him on all sides; they chase at his heels.
18:12 He is starved for strength; and is ripe for a fall.
18:13 Something gnaws on his skin; a deadly disease consumes his limbs.
18:14 Torn from the security of his home, he is brought before the king of terrors.
18:15 "There's nothing in his tent that belongs to him; sulfur is scattered all over his dwelling place.
18:16 His roots wither underneath, while his branches above are being cut off.
18:17 No one remembers him anywhere in the land; no one names streets in his honor.
18:18 He is driven away from light to darkness, made to wander the landscape.
18:19 He has no children or descendants within his own people; and no survivors where he once lived.
18:20 People who live west of him are appalled at his fate; those who live east of him are seized with terror.
18:21 Indeed, the residences of the wicked are like this; and so are the homes of those who don't know God."
