Job 18:5-21
Legacy Standard Bible
5 “Indeed, the (A)light of the wicked goes out,
And the [a]flame of his fire gives no light.
6 The light in his tent is (B)darkened,
And his lamp goes out above him.
7 His [b]vigorous stride is shortened,
And his (C)own counsel brings him down.
8 For he is (D)thrown into the net by his own feet,
And he steps on the netting.
9 A snare seizes him by the heel,
And a device snaps shut on him.
10 A rope for him is hidden in the ground,
And a trap for him on the path.
11 All around (E)terrors frighten him,
And (F)harass him at every step.
12 His vigor is (G)famished,
And disaster is ready at his side.
13 The firstborn of death eats parts of his skin;
It (H)eats parts of him.
14 He is (I)torn from [c]the security of his tent,
And [d]they march him in step before the king of (J)terrors.
15 [e]There dwells in his tent nothing of his;
(K)Brimstone is scattered on his abode.
16 His (L)roots are dried below,
And his (M)branch is cut off above.
17 (N)Memory of him perishes from the earth,
And he has no name abroad.
18 [f]He is driven from light (O)into darkness,
And (P)chased from the inhabited world.
19 He has neither (Q)offspring nor posterity among his people,
Nor any survivor where he sojourned.
20 Those [g]in the west are appalled at (R)his [h]fate,
And those [i]in the east are seized with horror.
21 Surely such are the (S)dwellings of the unjust,
And this is the place of him who does not know God.”
Job 18:5-21
New King James Version
5 “The(A) light of the wicked indeed goes out,
And the flame of his fire does not shine.
6 The light is dark in his tent,
(B)And his lamp beside him is put out.
7 The steps of his strength are shortened,
And (C)his own counsel casts him down.
8 For (D)he is cast into a net by his own feet,
And he walks into a snare.
9 The net takes him by the heel,
And (E)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 (F)Terrors frighten him on every side,
And drive him to his feet.
12 His strength is starved,
And (G)destruction is ready at his side.
13 It devours patches of his skin;
The firstborn of death devours his [a]limbs.
14 He is uprooted from (H)the shelter of his tent,
And they parade him before the king of terrors.
15 They dwell in his tent who are none of his;
Brimstone is scattered on his dwelling.
16 (I)His roots are dried out below,
And his branch withers above.
17 (J)The memory of him perishes from the earth,
And he has no name [b]among the renowned.
18 [c]He is driven from light into darkness,
And chased out of the world.
19 (K)He has neither son nor posterity among his people,
Nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 Those [d]in the west are astonished (L)at his day,
As those [e]in the east are frightened.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,
And this is the place of him who (M)does not know God.”
