Job 18 in Puritan & Reformed Writings

[1] 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. [3] Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed 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? [5] Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine. [6] The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him. [7] The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. [8] For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare. [9] The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him. [10] The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way. [11] Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet. [12] His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side. [13] It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength. [14] His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors. [15] It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation. [16] His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off. [17] His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street. [18] He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. [19] He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. [20] They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted. [21] Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
