Bible. Job
18:017:015 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
18:017:016 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest
together is in the dust.
18:018:001 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
18:018:002 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and
afterwards we will speak.
18:018:003 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your
sight?
18:018:004 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken
for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
18:018:005 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark
of his fire shall not shine.
18:018:006 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle
shall be put out with him.
18:018:007 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own
counsel shall cast him down.
18:018:008 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon
a snare.
18:018:009 The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall
prevail against him.
18:018:010 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in
the way.
18:018:011 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive
him to his feet.
18:018:012 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be
ready at his side.
18:018:013 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn
of death shall devour his strength.
18:018:014 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it
shall bring him to the king of terrors.
18:018:015 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his:
brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
18:018:016 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his
branch be cut off.
18:018:017 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have
no name in the street.
18:018:018 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of
the world.
18:018:019 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any
remaining in his dwellings.
18:018:020 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they
that went before were affrighted.
18:018:021 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the
place of him that knoweth not God.
18:019:001 Then Job answered and said,
18:019:002 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with
words?
18:019:003 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that
ye make yourselves strange to me.
18:019:004 And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with
myself.
18:019:005 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead
against me my reproach:
18:019:006 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me
with his net.
