Job 18

1 Bildad reproveth Job of presumption and impatience. 5 The calamities of the wicked.

 18:1 ¶ Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said:—

 18:2 How long will ye make a perversion of words? Ye should understand, and, afterwards, we could speak.

 18:3 Wherefore are we accounted like beasts? or appear stupid, in thine eyes?

 18:4 One tearing in pieces his own soul in his anger,—For thy sake, shall the earth be forsaken? or the rock be moved out of its place?

 18:5 ¶ Even the light of the lawless, shall go out,—Neither shall shine the flame of his fire;

 18:6 The light, hath darkened in his tent, Yea, his lamp above him, goeth out;

 18:7 The steppings of his strength are hemmed in, and his own counsel casteth him down;

 18:8 For he is thrust into a net by his own feet, and, upon a trap, he marcheth;

 18:9 There catcheth him—by the heel—a gin, there holdeth him fast—a noose:

 18:10 Concealed in the ground is a cord for him,—and a snare for him, on the path.

 18:11 ¶ Round about, terrors have startled him, and have driven him to his feet.

 18:12 Let his strength be famished, and, calamity, be ready at his side;

 18:13 Let it devour the members of his body, Let the firstborn of death devour his members;

 18:14 Uprooted, out of his tent, be his confidence, and let it drive him down to the king of terrors;

 18:15 There shall dwell in his tent, what is naught-of-his, Let brimstone be strewed over his dwelling;

 18:16 Beneath, let his roots be dried up, and, above, be cut off his branch;

 18:17 His memorial, have perished out of the land, and let him have no name over the face of the open field;

 18:18 Let them thrust him out of light into darkness, Yea, out of the world, let them chase him;

 18:19 Let him have neither scion nor seed among his people, neither any survivor in his place of sojourn:

 18:20 Over his day, have they been astounded who come behind, and, them who are in advance, a shudder hath seized.

 18:21 Surely, these, are the dwellings of him that is perverse, and, this, is the place of him that knoweth not GOD.
