Job 18 — ILT
18Verse 1Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,Verse 2When will ye at length put an end to words? Come to an understanding, and afterward let us speak.Verse 3For what cause are we counted as beasts, reputed stupid your eyes?Verse 4Thou, the one that teareth himself to pieces in his anger— shall for thy sake the earth be forsaken, and the rock be moved away out of its place?Verse 5Ah, truly the light of the wicked will be quenched, and the spark of his fire shall not give light.Verse 6The light becometh dark in his tent, and his lamp will be quenched above him.Verse 7His powerful steps will be narrowed, and his own counsel will cast him down.Verse 8For he is driven into the net by his own feet, and he taketh his walk upon a snare.Verse 9The trap will seize him by the heel, and the robber will prevail over him.Verse 10The cord is hidden for him in the ground, and a trap is set for him on the pathway.Verse 11All around do terrors scare him, and chase him as he walketh along.Verse 12His first-born will suffer hunger, and calamity will be ready for his wife.Verse 13It will devour the limbs of his body: yea, the first-born of death will devour his limbs.Verse 14Then will be plucked up out of his tent his confidence, and [the evil] will urge him forward to the king of terrors.Verse 15It will dwell in his tent, because it is no more his: there will be strewed sulphur on his habitation.Verse 16Beneath, his roots will be dried up, and above will his boughs he cut away.Verse 17His resemblance vanisheth from the earth, and no name remaineth for him in the streets.Verse 18Men will thrust him out from light into darkness, and out of the world will they drive him.Verse 19He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any that escapeth in the places of his sojourning.Verse 20Because of his [calamitous] day are they that come after him astonished, and they that went before are seized with shuddering.Verse 21Yea, such are the dwellings of the unjust, and this is the place of one that knew not God.
