18:2 “When will you cease this torrent of words? Once you start to think rationally, then we can have a sensible discussion.
18:3 Why do you treat us like animals and regard us as ignorant?
18:4 In your anger you tear yourself to pieces, but the earth will not be forsaken on your account, nor will a single rock be moved from its place.
18:5 “The light of the wicked is extinguished, and the flame of his fire no longer shines.
18:6 The light in his tent begins to fade and the lamp above him is put out.
18:7 His vigorous stride begins to falter and his own plans fail miserably.
18:8 He rushes headlong into a net, and his feet are ensnared.
18:9 “A trap seizes him by the heel, leaving him unable to escape.
18:10 A noose lies hidden on the ground for him; pitfalls lie across his path.
18:11 Terrors alarm him on every side, hounding his every step.
18:12 His strength is weakened by hunger, and disaster awaits him on all sides.
18:13 “His skin is eaten away by disease; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.
18:14 He is dragged from the security of his tent and carted off to the king of terrors.
18:15 Anyone can live in his tent since it is no longer his; brimstone is scattered over his dwelling.
18:16 His roots dry up below, and his branches wither above.
18:17 “All memory of him vanishes from the earth; his name is quickly forgotten.
18:18 He is thrust from light into darkness and banished from the world.
18:19 He leaves no offspring or posterity among his people; there is no survivor where he once lived.
18:20 Inhabitants of the west are appalled at his fate, while those of the east are struck with horror.
18:21 Such indeed is the dwelling of the impious; such is the home of everyone who cares nothing for God.”
