Job 18:1-8

English Standard Version

² “How long will you ^(B)hunt for words?
    Consider, and then we will speak.
³ Why are we counted as ^(C)cattle?
    Why are we stupid in your sight?
⁴ You who ^(D)tear yourself in your anger,
    shall the earth be forsaken for you,
    or ^(E)the rock be removed out of its place?

⁵ “Indeed, ^(F)the light of the wicked is put out,
    and the flame of his fire does not shine.
⁶ The light is ^(G)dark in his tent,
    and his lamp above him is put out.
⁷ His strong steps are shortened,
    and his ^(H)own schemes throw him down.
⁸ For he is cast into a net by his own feet,
    and he walks on its mesh.
