←Prev   Job 18 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


18:1  1 Bildad rehearseth the pains of the unfaithful and wicked. Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
18:2  When will ye make an end of your words? cause us to understand, and then we will speak.
18:3  Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and are vile in your sight?
18:4  Thou art as one that teareth his soul in his anger. Shall the earth be forsaken for thy sake? or the rock removed out of his place?
18:5  Yea, the light of the wicked shall be quenched, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
18:6  The light shall be dark in his dwelling, and his candle shall be put out with him.
18:7  The steps of his strength shall be restrained, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
18:8  For he is taken in the net by his feet, and he walketh upon the snares.
18:9  The grenne shall take him by the heel, and the chief shall come upon him.
18:10  A snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
18:11  Fearfulness shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
18:12  His strength shall be famine: and destruction shall be ready at his side.
18:13  It shall devour the inner parts of his skin, and the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
18:14  His hope shall be rooted out of his dwelling, and shall cause him to go to the king of fear.
18:15  Fear shall dwell in his house (because it is not his) and brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
18:16  His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut down.
18:17  His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18:18  They shall drive him out of the light unto darkness, and chase him out of the world.
18:19  He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any posterity in his dwellings.
18:20  The posterity shall be astonied at his day, and fear shall come upon the ancient.
18:21  Surely such are the habitations of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
