The light is dark in his tent,
(A)And his lamp beside him is put out.
The steps of his strength are shortened,
And (B)his own counsel casts him down.
For (C)he is cast into a net by his own feet,
And he walks into a snare.
The net takes him by the heel,
And (D)a snare lays hold of him.
10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground,
And a trap for him in the road.
11 (E)Terrors frighten him on every side,
And drive him to his feet.
12 His strength is starved,
And (F)destruction is ready at his side.
