Job 18  Legacy Standard Bible

⁵ “Indeed, the ^(B)light of the wicked goes out,
And the ^[b]flame of his fire gives no light.
⁶ The light in his tent is ^(C)darkened,
And his lamp goes out above him.
⁷ His ^[c]vigorous stride is shortened,
And his ^(D)own counsel brings him down.
⁸ For he is ^(E)thrown into the net by his own feet,
And he steps on the netting.
⁹ A snare seizes him by the heel,
And a device snaps shut on him.
¹⁰ A rope for him is hidden in the ground,
And a trap for him on the path.
¹¹ All around ^(F)terrors frighten him,
And ^(G)harass him at every step.
¹² His vigor is ^(H)famished,
And disaster is ready at his side.
¹³ The firstborn of death eats parts of his skin;
It ^(I)eats parts of him.
¹⁴ He is ^(J)torn from ^[d]the security of his tent,
And ^[e]they march him in step before the king of ^(K)terrors.
^15 [f]There dwells in his tent nothing of his;
^(L)Brimstone is scattered on his abode.
¹⁶ His ^(M)roots are dried below,
And his ^(N)branch is cut off above.
^17 (O)Memory of him perishes from the earth,
And he has no name abroad.
^18 [g]He is driven from light ^(P)into darkness,
And ^(Q)chased from the inhabited world.
¹⁹ He has neither ^(R)offspring nor posterity among his people,
Nor any survivor where he sojourned.
²⁰ Those ^[h]in the west are appalled at ^(S)his ^[i]fate,
And those ^[j]in the east are seized with horror.
²¹ Surely such are the ^(T)dwellings of the unjust,
And this is the place of him who does not know God.”
