Job 18 — KJV

18 Verse 1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, ^{Verse 2} How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak. ^{Verse 3} Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight? ^{Verse 4} He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his 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 tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him. ^{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 a snare. ^{Verse 9} The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him. ^{Verse 10} The snare is laid 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 drive him to his feet. ^{Verse 12} His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side. ^{Verse 13} It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength. ^{Verse 14} His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors. ^{Verse 15} It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it 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 neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. ^{Verse 20} They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted. ^{Verse 21} Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
