Job 18

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

1 Bildad from Shuah answered:

2 How long? Would you all stop talking. Try to understand and then we can speak.

3 Why are we considered beasts, ignorant in your sight?

4 To you who tear yourself in rage— will earth be forsaken for your sake, a rock be dislodged from its place?

5 To be sure, the light of the wicked goes out; the blaze of their fire doesn't shine.

6 The light in their tent becomes dark, and their lamp above doesn't shine.

7 Their strong strides slow down; their plans trip themselves.

8 They are caught by their feet in a net; they walk on mesh.

9 A trap grabs them by the heel; a snare tightens on them.

10 A rope is hidden on the ground for them; a trap for them along the path.

11 Terrors round about scare them; they follow their steps.

12 Their offspring hunger; calamity is ready for their spouses.

13 It eats some of their skin. Death's firstborn consumes their limbs.

14 They are snatched from the safety of their tent; it parades them before the king of terrors.

15 Nothing they own remains in their tent; sulfur is scattered over their home.

16 Their roots dry out below; their branches wither above.

17 The memory of them will perish from the earth; they will achieve no recognition abroad.

18 They are thrust from light into darkness, banished from the world.

19 They have no offspring or descendants among their people, no survivor in their dwelling place.

20 Their successors are appalled at what happens to them; their predecessors pull their hair.

21 These are surely the dwelling places of the evil; this is the place of the one who doesn't know God.

New International Version NIV

1 Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:

2 “When will you end these speeches? Be sensible, and then we can talk.

3 Why are we regarded as cattle and considered stupid in your sight?

4 You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger, is the earth to be abandoned for your sake? Or must the rocks be moved from their place?

5 “The lamp of a wicked man is snuffed out; the flame of his fire stops burning.

6 The light in his tent becomes dark; the lamp beside him goes out.

7 The vigor of his step is weakened; his own schemes throw him down.

8 His feet thrust him into a net; he wanders into its mesh.

9 A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare holds him fast.

10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground; a trap lies in his path.

11 Terrors startle him on every side and dog his every step.

12 Calamity is hungry for him; disaster is ready for him when he falls.

13 It eats away parts of his skin; death’s firstborn devours his limbs.

14 He is torn from the security of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors.

15 Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling.

16 His roots dry up below and his branches wither above.

17 The memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name in the land.

18 He is driven from light into the realm of darkness and is banished from the world.

19 He has no offspring or descendants among his people, no survivor where once he lived.

20 People of the west are appalled at his fate; those of the east are seized with horror.

21 Surely such is the dwelling of an evil man; such is the place of one who does not know God.”
