Job 18

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 But Baldad the Suhite responded by saying:	1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 How long will you throw around words? Understand first, and then let us speak.	2 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
3 Why have we been treated like mules, as if we were unworthy before you?	3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
4 You, who ruins your own soul in your fury, will the earth be forsaken because of you, and will the cliffs be moved from their place?	4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
5 Will not the light of the impious be put out, and the flame of his fire refuse to shine?	5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
6 Light will become darkness in his tabernacle, and the lamp that is over him will be extinguished.	6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
7 His strong steps will be constrained, and his own counsel will cast him down uncontrollably.	7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
8 For he has caused his own feet to go into a net, and he has walked into its web.	8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
9 His heel will be held in a snare, and thirst will rage against him.	9 The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
10 A trap has been hidden for him in the earth, and a decoy, along his path.	10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
11 Horrifying things will terrify him everywhere and will entangle his feet.	11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
12 Let his strength be diminished by famine, and let starvation invade his ribs.	12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
13 Let it devour the beauty of his skin; let the ancient death consume his arms.	13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
14 Let his confidence be torn away from his tabernacle, and let ruin trample over him like a king.	14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
15 Let the companions of he who is not, dwell in his tabernacle; let brimstone rain down upon his tabernacle.	15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
16 Let his roots be dried up from beneath him, and his harvest be crushed from above.	16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
17 Let the memory of him perish from the earth, and let not his name be celebrated in the streets.	17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18 He will expel him from light into darkness, and he will remove him from the world.	18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
19 Neither his offspring, nor his descendents, will exist among his people, nor will there be any remnants in his country.	19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 The last will be astonished at his day, and the first will be overcome with horror.	20 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
21 And so, these are the tabernacles of the sinful, and this the place of he who does not know God.	21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
