Job 18

1 Bildad reproveth Job of presumption and impatience. 5 The calamities of the wicked.

 18:1 Then Bildad 1085 the Shuhite 7747 responded 6030a 559,

 18:2 “How 575 long 5704 will you hunt 7760 7078 for words 4405? Show 995 understanding 995 and then 310 we can talk 1696.

 18:3 “Why 4069 are we regarded 2803 as beasts 929, As stupid 2933 in your eyes 5869?

 18:4 “O you who tear 2963 yourself 5315 in your anger 639— For your sake 4616 is the earth 776 to be abandoned 5800a, Or the rock 6697 to be moved 6275 from its place 4725?

 18:5 ¶ “Indeed 1571, the light 216 of the wicked 7563 goes 1846 out, And the flame 7632 of his fire 784 gives 5050 no 3808 light 5050.

 18:6 “The light 216 in his tent 168 is darkened 2821, And his lamp 5216 goes 1846 out above 5921 him.

 18:7 “His vigorous 202 stride 6806 is shortened 6887a, And his own scheme 6098 brings 7993 him down 7993.

 18:8 “For he is thrown 7971 into the net 7568 by his own feet 7272, And he steps 1980 on the webbing 7639.

 18:9 “A snare 6341a seizes 270 [him] by the heel 6119, [And] a trap 6782 snaps 2388 shut 2388 on him.

 18:10 “A noose 2256a for him is hidden 2934 in the ground 776, And a trap 4434 for him on the path 5410a.

 18:11 “All 5439 around 5439 terrors 1091 frighten 1204 him, And harry 6327a him at every step 7272.

 18:12 “His strength 202 is famished 7457, And calamity 343 is ready 3559 at his side 6763.

 18:13 “His skin 5785 is devoured 398 by disease 905, The firstborn 1060 of death 4194 devours 398 his limbs 905.

 18:14 “He is torn 5423 from the security 4009 of his tent 168, And they march 6805 him before the king 4428 of terrors 1091.

 18:15 “There dwells 7931 in his tent 168 nothing 1097 of his; Brimstone 1614 is scattered 2219 on his habitation 5116a.

 18:16 “His roots 8328 are dried 3001 below 4480 8478, And his branch 7105b is cut 4448c off 4448c above 4480 4605.

 18:17 “Memory 2143 of him perishes 6 from the earth 776, And he has no 3808 name 8034 abroad 6440 2351.

 18:18 “He is driven 1920 from light 216 into darkness 2822, And chased 5074 from the inhabited 8398 world 8398.

 18:19 “He has no 3808 offspring 5209 or posterity 5220 among his people 5971a, Nor 369 any survivor 8300 where 4033 he sojourned 4033.

 18:20 “Those in the west 314 are appalled 8074 at his fate 3117, And those in the east 6931 are seized 270 with horror 8178a.

 18:21 “Surely 389 such 428 are the dwellings 4908 of the wicked 5767a, And this 2088 is the place 4725 of him who does not know 3045 God 410.”
