18:2 "How long until you make an end of words? You must consider, and then we can talk.
18:3 Why should we be regarded as beasts, and considered stupid in your sight?
18:4 You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger, will the earth be abandoned for your sake? Or will a rock be moved from its place?
18:5 "Yes, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; his flame of fire does not shine.
18:6 The light in his tent grows dark; his lamp above him is extinguished.
18:7 His vigorous steps are restricted, and his own counsel throws him down.
18:8 For he has been thrown into a net by his feet and he wanders into a mesh.
18:9 A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare grips him.
18:10 A rope is hidden for him on the ground and a trap for him lies on the path.
18:11 Terrors frighten him on all sides and dog his every step.
18:12 Calamity is hungry for him, and misfortune is ready at his side.
18:13 It eats away parts of his skin; the most terrible death devours his limbs.
18:14 He is dragged from the security of his tent, and marched off to the king of terrors.
18:15 Fire resides in his tent; over his residence burning sulfur is scattered.
18:16 Below his roots dry up, and his branches wither above.
18:17 His memory perishes from the earth, he has no name in the land.
18:18 He is driven from light into darkness and is banished from the world.
18:19 He has neither children nor descendants among his people, no survivor in those places he once stayed.
18:20 People of the west are appalled at his fate; people of the east are seized with horror, saying,
18:21 Surely such is the residence of an evil man; and this is the place of one who has not known God.'"
