Job 18 — ASVBT

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