Job 18:14–21

14 He is torn from the security of his tent

and marched off to the king of terrors.

15 Fire resides in his tent;

burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling.

16 His roots dry up below

and his branches wither above.

17 The memory of him perishes from the earth;

he has no name in the land.

18 He is driven from light into the realm of darkness

and is banished from the world.

19 He has no offspring or descendants among his people,

no survivor where once he lived.

20 People of the west are appalled at his fate;

those of the east are seized with horror.

21 Surely such is the dwelling of an evil man;

such is the place of one who does not know God.”

14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle,

And it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it 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 neither have son nor nephew among his people,

Nor any remaining in his dwellings.

20 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day,

As they that went before were affrighted.

21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,

And this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

14 They are torn from the security of their homes

and are brought down to the king of terrors.

15 The homes of the wicked will burn down;

burning sulfur rains on their houses.

16 Their roots will dry up,

and their branches will wither.

17 All memory of their existence will fade from the earth,

No one will remember their names.

18 They will be thrust from light into darkness,

driven from the world.

19 They will have neither children nor grandchildren,

nor any survivor in the place where they lived.

20 People in the west are appalled at their fate;

people in the east are horrified.

21 They will say, ‘This was the home of a wicked person,

the place of one who rejected God.’ ”

14 He is uprooted from the shelter of his tent,

And they parade him before the king of terrors.

15 They dwell in his tent who are none of his;

Brimstone is scattered on his dwelling.

16 His roots are dried out below,

And his branch withers above.

17 The memory of him perishes from the earth,

And he has no name among the renowned.

18 He is driven from light into darkness,

And chased out of the world.

19 He has neither son nor posterity among his people,

Nor any remaining in his dwellings.

20 Those in the west are astonished at his day,

As those in the east are frightened.

21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,

And this is the place of him who does not know God.”

14 They are torn from the safety of their tents

and dragged off to Death, the King of Terrors.

15 Their tents are set on fire,

and sulfur is scattered over their homes.

16 Their roots dry up below ground,

and their branches die above ground.

17 People on earth will not remember them;

their names will be forgotten in the land.

18 They will be driven from light into darkness

and chased out of the world.

19 They have no children or descendants among their people,

and no one will be left alive where they once lived.

20 People of the west will be shocked at what has happened to them,

and people of the east will be very frightened.

21 Surely this is what will happen to the wicked;

such is the place of one who does not know God.”

14 He shall be rooted out of his tent where 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.

14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent, and it shall lead him away to the king of terrors: 15 They who are none of his shall dwell in his tent; brimstone shall be showered 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 on the pasture-grounds. 18 He is driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. 19 He hath neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining in the places of his sojourn. 20 They that come after shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before them were affrighted. 21 Surely, such are the dwellings of the unrighteous man, and such the place of him that knoweth not •God.

14 He is dragged from the safety of his tent 

and marched off to the king of terrors. 

15 Fire lives in his tent. 

Sulfur is scattered over his home. 

16 His roots dry up under him. 

His branches wither over him. 

17 All memory about him will vanish from the earth, 

and his reputation will not be known on the street corner. 

18 He will be driven from the light into the dark 

and chased out of the world. 

19 He will not have any children or descendants among his people 

or any survivor where he used to live. 

20 People in the west are shocked by what happens to him. 

People in the east are seized with horror. 

21 This is what happens to the homes of wicked people 

and to those who do not know God.” 

14 He is ripped from the security of his tent

and marched away to the king of terrors.

15 Nothing he owned remains in his tent.

Burning sulfur is scattered over his home.

16 His roots below dry up,

and his branches above wither away.

17 All memory of him perishes from the earth;

he has no name anywhere.

18 He is driven from light to darkness

and chased from the inhabited world.

19 He has no children or descendants among his people,

no survivor where he used to live.

20 Those in the west are appalled at his fate,

while those in the east tremble in horror.

21 Indeed, such is the dwelling of the unjust man,

and this is the place of the one who does not know God.

14 They are torn from the tent in which they trusted

and are brought to the king of terrors.

15 In their tents nothing remains;

sulfur is scattered upon their habitations.

16 Their roots dry up beneath,

and their branches wither above.

17 Their memory perishes from the earth,

and they have no name in the street.

18 They are thrust from light into darkness

and driven out of the world.

19 They have no offspring or descendant among their people

and no survivor where they used to live.

20 They of the west are appalled at their fate,

and horror seizes those of the east.

21 Surely such are the dwellings of the ungodly;

such is the place of those who do not know God.”

14 He is torn from his tent in which he trusted,

and it brought him to the king of terrors.

15 “Nothing remains for him in his tent;

sulfur is scattered upon his dwelling place.

16 His roots dry up below,

and its branches wither away above.

17 His remembrance perishes from the earth,

and there is not a name for him on the street.

18 “They thrust him from light into darkness,

and they drive him out from the world.

19 There is no offspring for him nor a descendant among his people,

and there is not a survivor in his abode.

20 Those of the west are appalled over his fate,

and those of the east are seized with horror.

21 Surely these are the dwellings of the godless,

and this is the dwelling place of him who knows not God.”

14 They are torn away from the safety of their tents.

They are marched off to the one who rules over death.

15 Fire races through their tents.

Burning sulfur is scattered over their homes.

16 Their roots dry up under them.

Their branches dry up above them.

17 No one on earth remembers them.

Their names are forgotten in the land.

18 They are driven from light into darkness.

They are thrown out of the world.

19 Their family dies out among their people.

No one is left where they used to live.

20 What has happened to them shocks the people in the west.

It terrifies the people in the east.

21 Now you know what the homes of sinners are like.

Those who don’t know God live in places like that.”

14 “He is torn from the security of his tent,

And they march him before the king of terrors.

15 “There dwells in his tent nothing of his;

Brimstone is scattered on his habitation.

16 “His roots are dried below,

And his branch is cut off above.

17 “Memory of him perishes from the earth,

And he has no name abroad.

18 “He is driven from light into darkness,

And chased from the inhabited world.

19 “He has no offspring or posterity among his people,

Nor any survivor where he sojourned.

20 “Those in the west are appalled at his fate,

And those in the east are seized with horror.

21 “Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,

And this is the place of him who does not know God.”
