Job 18

JuliaSmith^{(i) 1} And Bildad the Shuhite will answer and say, ² How long will ye set an end to words? Ye shall understand, and afterwards we will speak. ³ Wherefore were we reckoned as cattle, and were unclean in your eyes? ⁴ He rent his soul in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed from its place? ⁵ Also the light of the unjust shall be extinguished, and the flame of his fire shall not shine; ⁶ The light was darkened in his tent, and his lamp shall be extinguished for him. ⁷ The steps of his strength shall be straightened, and his counsel shall cast him down. ⁸ For he was cast into a net by his feet, and he will go about upon latticework. ⁹ A snare shall lay hold upon the heel, the noose shall hold fast upon him. ¹⁰ His gin being hid in the earth, and his snare upon the beaten path. ¹¹ Terrors made him afraid round about, and scattered him to his feet. ¹² His strength shall be hunger, and destruction being prepared at his side. ¹³ It shall devour the bars of his skin: the first-born of death shall devour his bars. ¹⁴ His confidence shall be plucked out from his tent, and it shall drive him to the king of terrors. ¹⁵ It shall dwell in his tent, from not to him: brimstone shall be scattered upon his dwelling. ¹⁶ From underneath, his roots shall be dried up, and from above, his harvest shall be cut off. ¹⁷ His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and not a name to him upon a face without. ¹⁸ They shall drive him out of light into darkness, and they shall exclude him from the habitable globe. ¹⁹ No offspring to him, and no progeny among his people, and not a survivor in his dwellings. ²⁰ Others were astonished at his day, and the ancient took hold on shuddering. ²¹ Also these the dwellings of evil, and this the place of him not knowing God.
