He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusteth; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors.

The members of his body shall be devoured, `Yea', the first-born of death shall devour his members.

They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.

Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, And the spark of his fire shall not shine.

A gin shall take him' by the heel, And' a snare shall lay hold on him.

The steps of his strength shall be straitened, And his own counsel shall cast him down.

For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walketh upon the toils.

The light shall be dark in his tent, And his lamp above him shall be put out.

Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels.

A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way.

It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, When once there is rest in the dust.

Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?

How long will ye hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?

Job 18

If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; To the worm, `Thou art' my mother, and my sister;

Wherefore are we counted as beasts, `And' are become unclean in your sight?

If I look for Sheol as my house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness;

He breaketh me with breach upon breach; He runneth upon me like a giant.

He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, Neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth.

He hath torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me; He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth: Mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, And all my members are as a shadow.

And thou hast laid fast hold on me, which' is a witness against me': And my leanness riseth up against me, It testifieth to my face.

Upright men shall be astonished at this, And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.

But he hath made me a byword of the people; And they spit in my face.

Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And he that voucheth for me is on high.

He that denounceth his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.

His archers compass me round about; He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; He poureth out my gall upon the ground.

God delivereth me to the ungodly, And casteth me into the hands of the wicked.
