Job:18
rsv@Job:18:1 @ Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
rsv@Job:18:2 @ "How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and then we will speak.
rsv@Job:18:3 @ Why are we counted as cattle? Why are we stupid in your sight?
rsv@Job:18:4 @ You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you, or the rock be removed out of its place?
rsv@Job:18:5 @ "Yea, the light of the wicked is put out, and the flame of his fire does not shine.
rsv@Job:18:6 @ The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp above him is put out.
rsv@Job:18:7 @ His strong steps are shortened and his own schemes throw him down.
rsv@Job:18:8 @ For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on a pitfall.
rsv@Job:18:9 @ A trap seizes him by the heel, a snare lays hold of him.
rsv@Job:18:10 @ A rope is hid for him in the ground, a trap for him in the path.
rsv@Job:18:11 @ Terrors frighten him on every side, and chase him at his heels.
rsv@Job:18:12 @ His strength is hunger-bitten, and calamity is ready for his stumbling.
rsv@Job:18:13 @ By disease his skin is consumed, the first-born of death consumes his limbs.
rsv@Job:18:14 @ He is torn from the tent in which he trusted, and is brought to the king of terrors.
rsv@Job:18:15 @ In his tent dwells that which is none of his; brimstone is scattered upon his habitation.
rsv@Job:18:16 @ His roots dry up beneath, and his branches wither above.
rsv@Job:18:17 @ His memory perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the street.
rsv@Job:18:18 @ He is thrust from light into darkness, and driven out of the world.
rsv@Job:18:19 @ He has no offspring or descendant among his people, and no survivor where he used to live.
rsv@Job:18:20 @ They of the west are appalled at his day, and horror seizes them of the east.
rsv@Job:18:21 @ Surely such are the dwellings of the ungodly, such is the place of him who knows not God."
