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.

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.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Terrors frighten him on every side,
and chase him at his heels.
His strength is famished,
and calamity is ready for his stumbling.
It consumes the parts of his skin;
the firstborn of death consumes his limbs.
He is torn from the tent in which he trusted
and is brought to the king of terrors.
In his tent dwells that which is none of his;
sulfur is scattered over his habitation.
His roots dry up beneath,
and his branches wither above.
His memory perishes from the earth,
and he has no name in the street.
He is thrust from light into darkness,
and driven out of the world.
He has no posterity or progeny among his people,
and no survivor where he used to live.
They of the west are appalled at his day,
and horror seizes them of the east.
Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous,
such is the place of him who knows not God.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Terrors startle him on every side
and dog his every step.
Calamity is hungry for him;
disaster is ready for him when he falls.
It eats away parts of his skin;
death’s firstborn devours his limbs.
He is torn from the security of his tent
and marched off to the king of terrors.
Fire resides in his tent;
burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling.
His roots dry up below
and his branches wither above.
The memory of him perishes from the earth;
he has no name in the land.
He is driven from light into the realm of darkness
and is banished from the world.
He has no offspring or descendants among his people,
no survivor where once he lived.
People of the west are appalled at his fate;
those of the east are seized with horror.
Surely such is the dwelling of an evil man;
such is the place of one who does not know God.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Terrors frighten him on every side
and harass him at every step.
His strength is depleted;
disaster lies ready for him to stumble.
Parts of his skin are eaten away;
death’s firstborn consumes his limbs.
He is ripped from the security of his tent
and marched away to the king of terrors.
Nothing he owned remains in his tent.
Burning sulfur is scattered over his home.
His roots below dry up,
and his branches above wither away.
All memory of him perishes from the earth;
he has no name anywhere.
He is driven from light to darkness
and chased from the inhabited world.
He has no children or descendants among his people,
no survivor where he used to live.
Those in the west are appalled at his fate,
while those in the east tremble in horror.
Indeed, such is the dwelling of the unjust man,
and this is the place of the one who does not know God.

NLTNew Living Translation
“Terrors surround the wicked
and trouble them at every step.
Hunger depletes their strength,
and calamity waits for them to stumble.
Disease eats their skin;
death devours their limbs.
They are torn from the security of their homes
and are brought down to the king of terrors.
The homes of the wicked will burn down;
burning sulfur rains on their houses.
Their roots will dry up,
and their branches will wither.
All memory of their existence will fade from the earth,
No one will remember their names.
They will be thrust from light into darkness,
driven from the world.
They will have neither children nor grandchildren,
nor any survivor in the place where they lived.
People in the west are appalled at their fate;
people in the east are horrified.
They will say, ‘This was the home of a wicked person,
the place of one who rejected God.’ ”

“Sudden terrors terrify him all around,
and they chase him at his heels.
His wealth will become hunger,
and disaster is ready for his stumbling.
It consumes parts of his skin;
the firstborn of death consumes his limbs.
He is torn from his tent in which he trusted,
and it brought him to the king of terrors.
“Nothing remains for him in his tent;
sulfur is scattered upon his dwelling place.
His roots dry up below,
and its branches wither away above.
His remembrance perishes from the earth,
and there is not a name for him on the street.
“They thrust him from light into darkness,
and they drive him out from the world.
There is no offspring for him nor a descendant among his people,
and there is not a survivor in his abode.
Those of the west are appalled over his fate,
and those of the east are seized with horror.
Surely these are the dwellings of the godless,
and this is the dwelling place of him who knows not God.”
