Parallel
Job 18
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
“How long will you hunt for words?
“How long until you end these speeches? Show some sense, and then we can talk.
You who tear yourself in your anger,
You who tear yourself in anger—should the earth be forsaken on your account, or the rocks be moved from their place?
“Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out.
Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished; the flame of his fire does not glow.
The light will be dark in his tent.
The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him goes out.
The steps of his strength will be shortened.
His vigorous stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up.
For he is cast into a net by his own feet,
For his own feet lead him into a net, and he wanders into its mesh.
A noose is hidden for him in the ground,
A noose is hidden in the ground, and a trap lies in his path.
Terrors will make him afraid on every side,
Terrors frighten him on every side and harass his every step.
The members of his body will be devoured.
It devours patches of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his limbs.
He will be rooted out of the security of his tent.
He is torn from the shelter of his tent and is marched off to the king of terrors.
There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his.
Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur rains down on his dwelling.
His roots will be dried up beneath.
The roots beneath him dry up, and the branches above him wither away.
His memory will perish from the earth.
The memory of him perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the land.
He will be driven from light into darkness,
He is driven from light into darkness and is chased from the inhabited world.
He will have neither son nor grandson amongst his people,
He has no offspring or posterity among his people, no survivor where he once lived.
Those who come after will be astonished at his day,
Those in the west are appalled at his fate, while those in the east tremble in horror.
Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous.
Surely such is the dwelling of the wicked and the place of one who does not know God.”
