web@Job:18:1 @Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

web@Job:18:2 @"How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.

web@Job:18:3 @Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?

web@Job:18:4 @You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?

web@Job:18:5 @"Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, The spark of his fire shall not shine.

web@Job:18:6 @The light shall be dark in his tent. His lamp above him shall be put out.

web@Job:18:7 @The steps of his strength shall be shortened. His own counsel shall cast him down.

web@Job:18:8 @For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.

web@Job:18:9 @A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.

web@Job:18:10 @A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the way.

web@Job:18:11 @Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall chase him at his heels.

web@Job:18:12 @His strength shall be famished. Calamity shall be ready at his side.

web@Job:18:13 @The members of his body shall be devoured. The firstborn of death shall devour his members.

web@Job:18:14 @He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusts. He shall be brought to the king of terrors.

web@Job:18:15 @There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur shall be scattered on his habitation.

web@Job:18:16 @His roots shall be dried up beneath. Above shall his branch be cut off.

web@Job:18:17 @His memory shall perish from the earth. He shall have no name in the street.

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

web@Job:18:19 @He shall have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.

web@Job:18:20 @Those who come after shall be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.

web@Job:18:21 @Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who doesn't know God."

web@Job:19:1 @Then Job answered,

web@Job:19:2 @"How long will you torment me, and crush me with words?

web@Job:19:3 @You have reproached me ten times. You aren't ashamed that you attack me.

web@Job:19:4 @If it is true that I have erred, my error remains with myself.

web@Job:19:5 @If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach;

web@Job:19:6 @know now that God has subverted me, and has surrounded me with his net.

web@Job:19:7 @"Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.

web@Job:19:8 @He has walled up my way so that I can't pass, and has set darkness in my paths.

web@Job:19:9 @He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.

web@Job:19:10 @He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone. My hope he has plucked up like a tree.

web@Job:19:11 @He has also kindled his wrath against me. He counts me among his adversaries.

web@Job:19:12 @His troops come on together, build a siege ramp against me, and encamp around my tent.

web@Job:19:13 @"He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.

web@Job:19:14 @My relatives have gone away. My familiar friends have forgotten me.

web@Job:19:15 @Those who dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger. I am an alien in their sight.

web@Job:19:16 @I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer. I beg him with my mouth.

web@Job:19:17 @My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.

web@Job:19:18 @Even young children despise me. If I arise, they speak against me.

web@Job:19:19 @All my familiar friends abhor me. They whom I loved have turned against me.

web@Job:19:20 @My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh. I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

web@Job:19:21 @"Have pity on me, have pity on me, you my friends; for the hand of God has touched me.

web@Job:19:22 @Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

web@Job:19:23 @"Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!

web@Job:19:24 @That with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever!

web@Job:19:25 @But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.

web@Job:19:26 @After my skin is destroyed, then in my flesh shall I see God,

web@Job:19:27 @Whom I, even I, shall see on my side. My eyes shall see, and not as a stranger. "My heart is consumed within me.

web@Job:19:28 @If you say, 'How we will persecute him!' because the root of the matter is found in me,

web@Job:19:29 @be afraid of the sword, for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment."

web@Job:20:1 @Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,

web@Job:20:2 @"Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, even by reason of my haste that is in me.

web@Job:20:3 @I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.

web@Job:20:4 @Don't you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,

web@Job:20:5 @that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?

web@Job:20:6 @Though his height mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds,

web@Job:20:7 @yet he shall perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him shall say, 'Where is he?'

web@Job:20:8 @He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found. Yes, he shall be chased away like a vision of the night.

web@Job:20:9 @The eye which saw him shall see him no more, neither shall his place any more see him.

web@Job:20:10 @His children shall seek the favor of the poor. His hands shall give back his wealth.

web@Job:20:11 @His bones are full of his youth, but youth shall lie down with him in the dust.

web@Job:20:12 @"Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue,

web@Job:20:13 @though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;

web@Job:20:14 @yet his food in his bowels is turned. It is cobra venom within him.

web@Job:20:15 @He has swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again. God will cast them out of his belly.

web@Job:20:16 @He shall suck cobra venom. The viper's tongue shall kill him.

web@Job:20:17 @He shall not look at the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter.

web@Job:20:18 @That for which he labored he shall restore, and shall not swallow it down. According to the substance that he has gotten, he shall not rejoice.

web@Job:20:19 @For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.

web@Job:20:20 @"Because he knew no quietness within him, he shall not save anything of that in which he delights.

web@Job:20:21 @There was nothing left that he didn't devour, therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

web@Job:20:22 @In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress shall overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery shall come on him.

web@Job:20:23 @When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.

web@Job:20:24 @He shall flee from the iron weapon. The bronze arrow shall strike him through.

web@Job:20:25 @He draws it forth, and it comes out of his body. Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver. Terrors are on him.

web@Job:20:26 @All darkness is laid up for his treasures. An unfanned fire shall devour him. It shall consume that which is left in his tent.

web@Job:20:27 @The heavens shall reveal his iniquity. The earth shall rise up against him.

web@Job:20:28 @The increase of his house shall depart. They shall rush away in the day of his wrath.

web@Job:20:29 @This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the heritage appointed to him by God."
