Job 18

18Then answered ^aBildad the Shuhite, and said,

^2bHow long will it be ere ye make an end of words?

Mark, and afterwards we will speak.

³Wherefore are we counted ^cas beasts,

And reputed vile in your sight?

⁴He ^dteareth ^†himself in his anger:

Shall the earth be forsaken for thee?

And shall ^ethe rock be removed out of his place?

⁵Yea, ^fthe light of the wicked shall be put out,

And the spark of his fire shall not shine.

⁶The light shall be dark in his ^gtabernacle,

And his ^f||candle shall be put out ^hwith him.

⁷The steps of his strength shall be straitened,

And ⁱhis own counsel shall cast him down.

⁸For he ^jis cast into ^ka net by his own feet,

And he walketh upon a snare.

^9lThe gin shall take him by the heel,

And ^mthe robber shall prevail against him.

¹⁰The ⁿsnare is ^†laid for him in the ground,

And a trap for him in the way.

^11oTerrors shall make him afraid on every side,

And shall ^†drive him ^pto his feet.

¹²His strength shall be hungerbitten,

And destruction shall be ^qrready ^rat his side.

¹³It shall devour the ^†strength of ^shis skin:

Even ^tthe firstborn of death shall devour his ^†strength.

^14uHis confidence shall be ^xrooted out of his ^gtabernacle,

And it shall bring him to ^ythe king of terrors.

¹⁵It shall dwell in his ^gtabernacle, because it is none of his:

^zBrimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

¹⁶His ^aroots shall be dried up beneath,

And above shall his branch be ^bcut off.

^17cHis remembrance shall perish from the earth,

And he shall have no name ^din the street.

^18†He shall be driven from light into darkness,

And chased out of the world.

¹⁹He shall neither have ^eson nor ^fnephew among his people,

Nor ^gany remaining in his ^hdwellings.

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

As they that ^||went before ^†were affrighted.

²¹Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,

And this is the place of him that ^kknoweth not God.
