Job|18:1|-|Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
Job|18:2|-|How long will you hunt for words?Consider, and afterward we will speak.
Job|18:3|-|Why are we considered to be like beastsAnd have become unclean in your eyes?
Job|18:4|-|You who tear yourself in your anger,Will the earth be forsaken for your sake,
Or will the rock be removed from its place?
Job|18:5|-|Indeed the light of the wicked goes out,And the flame of his fire does not shine.
Job|18:6|-|The light is darkness in his tent,And his lamp above him goes out.
Job|18:7|-|The steps of his strength are confined,And his counsel has cast him down.
Job|18:8|-|For he has been cast into a net by his own feet,And he walks about on the webbing of a pitfall.
Job|18:9|-|A snare grabs him by the heel;A trap lays hold on him.
Job|18:10|-|A rope is hidden for him on the ground,And a trap for him, on the path.
Job|18:11|-|Terrors frighten him all aroundAnd chase him at his heels.
Job|18:12|-|His strength is famished,And calamity is prepared at his side.
Job|18:13|-|It devours the members of his body;The firstborn of death devours his members.
Job|18:14|-|He is rooted out of his tent, in which he trusts;And he is made to march to the king of terrors.
Job|18:15|-|That which is not his dwells in his tent;Brimstone is scattered upon his habitation.
Job|18:16|-|Beneath, his roots are dried up;And above, his branch is withered.
Job|18:17|-|The memory of him perishes from the earth,And he has no name on the open plain.
Job|18:18|-|He is thrust out from the light to the darknessAnd driven from the world.
Job|18:19|-|He has |a|no posterity and no progeny among his people,And there are none remaining where he sojourned.
Job|18:20|-|Those who come after will be astonished at his day,As those who went before were horrified.
Job|18:21|-|Surely these are the dwellings of the unjust,And this is the place of him who does not |a|know God.
