Job 18:5–14

⁵Indeed, the lamp of the wicked is extinguished;

the flame of his fire does not glow.

⁶The light in his tent grows dark,

and the lamp beside him goes out.

⁷His vigorous stride is shortened,

and his own schemes trip him up.

⁸For his own feet lead him into a net,

and he wanders into its mesh.

⁹A trap seizes his heel;

a snare grips him.

¹⁰A noose is hidden in the ground,

and a trap lies in his path.

¹¹Terrors frighten him on every side

and harass his every step.

¹²His strength is depleted,

and calamity is ready at his side.

¹³It devours patches of his skin;

the firstborn of death devours his limbs.

¹⁴He is torn from the shelter of his tent

and is marched off to the king of terrors.
