Job 18
Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:
How long will you throw out words? understand first,
and so let us speak.
Why are we reputed as beasts, and counted vile before
you?
Thou that destroyest thy soul in thy fury, shall the
earth be forsaken for thee, and shall rocks be removed
out of their place?
Shall not the light of the wicked be extinguished, and
the flame of his fire not shine?
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and the lamp
that is over him, shall be put out.
The step of his strength shall be straitened, and his
own counsel shall cast him down headlong.
For he hath thrust his feet into a net, and walketh
in its meshes.
The sole of his foot shall be held in a snare, and thirst
shall burn against him.
A gin is hidden for him in the earth, and his trap upon
the path.
Fears shall terrify him on every side, and shall entangle
his feet.
Let his strength be wasted with famine, and let hunger
invade his ribs.
Let it devour the beauty of his skin, let the firstborn
death consume his arms.
Let his confidence be rooted out of his tabernacle,
and let destruction tread upon him like a king.
Let the companions of him that is not, dwell in his
tabernacle, let brimstone be sprinkled in his tent.
Let his roots be dried up beneath, and his harvest destroyed
above.
Let the memory of him perish from the earth and let
not his name be renowned in the streets.
He shall drive him out of light into darkness, and shall
remove him out of the world.
His seed shall not subsist, nor his offspring among
his people, nor any remnants in his country.
They that come after him shall be astonished at his
day, and horror shall fall upon them that went before.
These men are the tabernacles of the wicked, and this
the place of him that knoweth not God.
