Job 18

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Bildad the Shuchi said,

2 "When will you put an end to words? Think about it -then we'll talk!

3 Why are we thought of as cattle, stupid in your view?

4 You can tear yourself to pieces in your anger, but the earth won't be abandoned just for your sake; not even a rock will be moved from its place.

5 "The light of the wicked will flicker and die, not a spark from his fire will shine,

6 the light in his tent is darkened, the lamp over him will be snuffed out.

7 His vigorous stride is shortened, his own plans make him trip and fall.

8 For his own feet plunge him into a net, he wanders into its meshes.

9 A trap grabs him by the heel, a snare catches hold of him.

10 A noose is hidden for him in the ground; pitfalls lie in his path.

11 Terrors overwhelm him on every side and scatter about his feet.

12 "Trouble is hungry for him, calamity ready for his fall;

13 disease eats away at his skin; the first stages of death devour him gradually.

14 What he relied on will be torn from his tent, and he will be marched before the king of terrors.

15 "What isn't his at all will live in his tent; sulfur will be scattered on his home.

16 His roots beneath him will dry up; above him, his branch will wither.

17 Memory of him will fade from the land, while abroad his name will be unknown.

18 He will be pushed from light into darkness and driven out of the world.

19 "Without son or grandson among his people, no one will remain in his dwellings.

20 Those who come after will be appalled at his fate, just as those there before were struck with horror.

21 "This is how things are in the homes of the wicked, and this is the place of those who don't know God."

King James Version KJV

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

2 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.

3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?

4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?

5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

9 The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.

10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.

12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.

13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.

14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.

17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.

18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

20 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.

21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
