Job 18

luther1545 kjv valera ls1910

¹Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, ²How long will ye hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak. ³Wherefore are we counted as beasts, Andare become unclean in your sight? ⁴Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its 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 tent, And his lamp above him shall be put out. 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 the toils. ⁹A gin shall take him by the heel, Anda snare shall lay hold on him. ¹⁰A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way. ¹¹Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels. ¹²His strength shall be hunger-bitten, And calamity shall be ready at his side. ¹³The members of his body shall be devoured, Yea, the first-born of death shall devour his members. ¹⁴He shall be rooted out of his tent wherein he trusteth; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors. ¹⁵There shall dwell in his tent that which 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 have neither son nor son’s son among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned. ²⁰They that come after shall be astonished at his day, As they that went before were affrighted. ²¹Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, And this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
