| Job 18: (ASV) |
| 1) Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, |
| 2) How long will ye hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak. |
| 3) Wherefore are we counted as beasts, And are become unclean in your sight? |
| 4) Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place? |
| 5) Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, And the spark of his fire shall not shine. |
| 6) The light shall be dark in his tent, And his lamp above him shall be put out. |
| 7) The steps of his strength shall be straitened, And his own counsel shall cast him down. |
| 8) For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walketh upon the toils. |
| 9) A gin shall take him by the heel, And a snare shall lay hold on him. |
| 10) A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way. |
| 11) Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels. |
| 12) His strength shall be hunger-bitten, And calamity shall be ready at his side. |
| 13) The members of his body shall be devoured, Yea, the first-born of death shall devour his members. |
| 14) He shall be rooted out of his tent wherein he trusteth; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors. |
| 15) There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his: Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation. |
| 16) His roots shall be dried up beneath, And above shall his branch be cut off. |
| 17) His remembrance shall perish from the earth, And he shall have no name in the street. |
| 18) He shall be driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world. |
| 19) He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned. |
| 20) They that come after shall be astonished at his day, As they that went before were affrighted. |
| 21) Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, And this is the place of him that knoweth not God. |
