Job - Chapter 18 - A Conservative Version
- Then Bildad the Shuhite answered, and said,
- How long will ye hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
- Why are we counted as beasts, [and] have become unclean in your sight?
- Thou who tear thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?
- Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
- The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp above him shall be put out.
- The steps of his strength shall be restricted, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
- For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks upon the toils.
- A trap shall take [him] by the heel. A snare shall lay hold on him.
- A noose is hid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
- Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall chase him at his heels.
- His strength shall be weakened by hunger, and calamity shall be ready at his side.
- The members of his body shall be devoured. The first-born of death shall devour his body-parts.
- He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusts, and he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
- There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
- His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
- His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
- He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
- He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, nor any remaining where he sojourned.
- Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
- Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, and this is the place of him who does not know God.
