Job 18:5–21
5 “The lamp of a wicked man is snuffed out;t
the flame of his fire stops burning.u
6 The light in his tentv becomes dark;w
the lamp beside him goes out.x
7 The vigory of his step is weakened;z
his own schemesa throw him down.b
8 His feet thrust him into a net;c
he wanders into its mesh.
9 A trap seizes him by the heel;
10 A noosef is hidden for him on the ground;
11 Terrorsi startle him on every sidej
and dogk his every step.
12 Calamityl is hungrym for him;
disastern is ready for him when he falls.o
13 It eats away parts of his skin;p
death’s firstborn devours his limbs.q
14 He is torn from the security of his tentr
and marched off to the kings of terrors.t
15 Fire residesa in his tent;u
burning sulfurv is scattered over his dwelling.
16 His roots dry up beloww
and his branches wither above.x
17 The memory of him perishes from the earth;y
18 He is driven from light into the realm of darknessb
and is banishedc from the world.d
19 He has no offspringe or descendantsf among his people,
no survivorg where once he lived.h
20 People of the west are appalledi at his fate;j
those of the east are seized with horror.
