Job 18

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

Mark, and afterwards we will speak.

₃Wherefore are we counted as beasts,

And reputed vile in your sight?

₄He teareth himself in his anger:

Shall the earth be forsaken for thee?

And shall the rock be removed out of his place?

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

And the spark of his fire shall not shine.

₆The light shall be dark in his tabernacle,

And his candle shall be put out with him.

₇The steps of his strength shall be straitened,

And his own counsel shall cast him down.

₈For he is cast into a net by his own feet,

And he walketh upon a snare.

₉The gin shall take him by the heel,

And the robber shall prevail against him.

₁₀The snare is laid for him in the ground,

And a trap for him in the way.

₁₁Terrors shall make him afraid on every side,

And shall drive him to his feet.

₁₂His strength shall be hungerbitten,

And destruction shall be ready at his side.

₁₃It shall devour the strength of his skin:

Even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.

₁₄His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle,

And it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

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

Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

₁₆His roots shall be dried up beneath,

And above shall his branch be cut off.

₁₇His remembrance shall perish from the earth,

And he shall have no name in the street.

₁₈He shall be driven from light into darkness,

And chased out of the world.

₁₉He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people,

Nor any remaining in his dwellings.

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

As they that went before were affrighted.

₂₁Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,

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