17:4. Thou hast set their heart far from understanding, therefore they shall not be exalted. 17:5. He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall fail. 17:6. He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them. 17:7. My eye is dim through indignation, and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing. 17:8. The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite. 17:9. And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. 17:10. Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man. 17:11. My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart. 17:12. They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again. 17:13. If I wait hell is my house, and I have made my bed in darkness. Hell... Sheol. The region of the dead. 17:14. I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister. 17:15. Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience? 17:16. All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest? Deepest pit... Literally, hell. Job Chapter 18 Baldad again reproves Job and describes the miseries of the wicked. 18:1. Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and said: 18:2. How long will you throw out words? understand first, and so let us speak. 18:3. Why are we reputed as beasts, and counted vile before you? 18:4. Thou that destroyest thy soul in thy fury, shall the earth be forsaken for thee, and shall rocks be removed out of their place? 18:5. Shall not the light of the wicked be extinguished, and the flame of his fire not shine? 18:6. The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and the lamp that is over him, shall be put out. 18:7. The step of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down headlong. 18:8. For he hath thrust his feet into a net, and walketh in its meshes. 18:9. The sole of his foot shall be held in a snare, and thirst shall burn against him. 18:10. A gin is hidden for him in the earth, and his trap upon the path. 18:11. Fears shall terrify him on every side, and shall entangle his feet. 18:12. Let his strength be wasted with famine, and let hunger invade his ribs. 18:13. Let it devour the beauty of his skin, let the firstborn death consume his arms. 18:14. Let his confidence be rooted out of his tabernacle, and let destruction tread upon him like a king. 18:15. Let the companions of him that is not, dwell in his tabernacle, let brimstone be sprinkled in his tent. 18:16. Let his roots be dried up beneath, and his harvest destroyed above. 18:17. Let the memory of him perish from the earth, and let not his name be renowned in the streets. 18:18. He shall drive him out of light into darkness, and shall remove him out of the world.
