Job 18

1 THEN answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

2 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.

When will yee make an ende of your words? cause vs to vnderstande, and then wee will speake.

3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?

Wherefore are wee counted as beastes, and are vile in your sight?

4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?

Thou art as one that teareth his soule in his anger. Shall the earth bee forsaken for thy sake? or the rocke remoued out of his place?

5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

Yea, the light of the wicked shalbe quenched, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine.

6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

The light shalbe darke in his dwelling, and his candle shalbe put out with him.

7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

The steps of his strength shalbe restrained, and his owne counsell shall cast him downe.

8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

For hee is taken in the net by his feete, and he walketh vpon the snares.

9 The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.

The grenne shall take him by the heele, and the theefe shall come vpon him.

10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

A snare is layed for him in the ground, and a trappe for him in the way.

11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.

Fearefulnesse shall make him afrayde on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.

12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.

His strength shalbe famine: and destruction shalbe readie at his side.

13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.

It shall deuoure the inner partes of his skinne, and the first borne of death shall deuoure his strength.

14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

His hope shalbe rooted out of his dwelling, and shall cause him to go to the King of feare.

15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

Feare shall dwell in his house (because it is not his) and brimstone shalbe scattered vpon his habitation.

16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.

His rootes shalbe dryed vp beneath, and aboue shall his branche be cut downe.

17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.

His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall haue no name in the streete.

18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

They shall driue him out of the light vnto darkenesse, and chase him out of the world.

19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

Hee shall neither haue sonne nor nephewe among his people, nor any posteritie in his dwellings.

20 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.

The posteritie shalbe astonied at his day, and feare shall come vpon the ancient.

21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

Surely such are the habitations of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
