Job 18:5-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 “Surely the light of the wicked is put out,
and the flame of their fire does not shine.(A)
6 The light is dark in their tent,
and the lamp above them is put out.
7 Their strong steps are shortened,
and their own schemes throw them down.(B)
8 For they are thrust into a net by their own feet,
and they walk into a pitfall.(C)
9 A trap seizes them by the heel;
a snare lays hold of them.(D)
10 A rope is hid for them in the ground,
a trap for them in the path.(E)
11 Terrors frighten them on every side
and chase them at their heels.(F)
12 Their strength is consumed by hunger,[a]
and calamity is ready for their stumbling.(G)
13 By disease their skin is consumed;[b]
the firstborn of Death consumes their limbs.
14 They are torn from the tent in which they trusted
and are brought to the king of terrors.(H)
