Job Chapter 18

Bildad reprimands Job

18:1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, and said,
18:2 How long will you set a snare of words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
18:3 Why are we counted as animals? Are we stupid in your sight?
18:4 He tears himself in his anger: [shall] the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be moved out of its place?

Calamities of the wicked

18:5 Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not blaze.
18:6 The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp shall be put out above him.
18:7 The steps of his strength shall be hindered, and his own counsel shall topple him.
18:8 For he is thrown into a net by his own feet, and he is walking on a snare.
18:9 The trap shall take him by the heel, and a snare shall prevail against him.
18:10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him on the way.
18:11 Terrors frighten him on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
18:12 His strength shall be hunger bitten, and calamity shall be ready at his side.
18:13 It devours parts of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his parts.
18:14 His hope shall be rooted out of his tent, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
18:15 What is not his shall dwell in his tent, brimstone is scattered upon his home.
18:16 His roots are dried up beneath, and his branch wither above .
18:17 His memory perishes from the earth, and he shall have no name on the street.
18:18 He shall be driven from light to darkness, and chased out of the world.
18:19 He shall have no son nor kinsman among his people, nor [any] remaining in his dwellings.
18:20 Those after him shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before were [in] horror.
18:21 Surely such are the tents of the wicked, and this is the place God has not known .
