18:2 When will you put an end to words? Reflect, and then we can have discussion.
18:3 Why are we accounted like beasts, equal to them in your sight?
18:4 You who tear yourself in your anger— shall the earth be neglected on your account or the rock be moved out of its place?
18:5 Truly, the light of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire casts no light.
18:6 In his tent light is darkness; the lamp above him goes out.
18:7 His vigorous steps are hemmed in, his own counsel casts him down.
18:8 A net catches him by the feet, he wanders into a pitfall.
18:9 A trap seizes him by the heel, a snare lays hold of him.
18:10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground, a netting for him on the path.
18:11 On every side terrors frighten him; they harry him at each step.
18:12 His strength is famished, disaster is ready at his side,
18:13 His skin is eaten to the limbs, the firstborn of Death eats his limbs.
18:14 He is plucked from the security of his tent; and marched off to the king of terrors.
18:15 Fire lodges in his tent, over his abode brimstone is scattered.
18:16 Below, his roots dry up, and above, his branches wither.
18:17 His memory perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the countryside.
18:18 He is driven from light into darkness, and banished from the world.
18:19 He has neither offshoot nor offspring among his people, no survivor where once he dwelt.
18:20 Those who come after shall be appalled at his fate; those who went before are seized with horror.
18:21 So is it then with the dwelling of the impious; such is the place of the one who does not know God!
