ASV_Strong : Job 18
1. Then answered[H6030] Bildad[H1085] the Shuhite[H7747], and said[H559],
2. How long[H5704] will ye hunt[H7760] for[H7078] words[H4405]? Consider[H995], and afterwards[H310] we will speak[H1696].
3. Wherefore are we counted[H2803] as beasts[H929], And are become unclean[H2933] in your sight[H5869]?
4. Thou that tearest[H2963] thyself[H5315] in thine anger[H639], Shall the earth[H776] be forsaken[H5800] for thee[H6697]? Or shall the rock be removed[H6275] out of its place[H4725]?
5. Yea[H216], the light of the wicked[H7563] shall be put out[H1846], And the spark[H7632] of his fire[H784] shall not shine[H5050].
6. The light[H216] shall be dark[H2821] in his tent[H168], And his lamp[H5216] above him shall be put out[H1846].
7. The steps[H6806] of his strength[H202] shall be straitened[H3334], And his own counsel[H6098] shall cast him down[H7993].
8. For he is cast[H7971] into a net[H7568] by his own feet[H7272], And he walketh[H1980] upon the toils[H7639].
9. A gin[H6341] shall take[H270] him by the heel[H6119], And a snare[H6782] shall lay hold on him[H2388].
10. A noose[H2256] is hid[H2934] for him in the ground[H776], And a trap[H4434] for him in the way[H5410].
11. Terrors[H1091] shall make him afraid[H1204] on every side[H5439], And shall chase[H6327] him at his heels[H7272].
12. His strength[H202] shall be hunger-bitten[H7457], And calamity[H343] shall be ready[H3559] at his side[H6763].
13. The members[H905] of his body[H5785] shall be devoured[H398], Yea[H1060], the first-born of death[H4194] shall devour[H398] his members[H905].
14. He shall be rooted out[H5423] of his tent[H168] where he trusteth[H4009]; And he shall be brought[H6805] to the king[H4428] of terrors[H1091].
15. There shall dwell[H7931] in his tent[H168] that which is none[H1097] of his[H1614]: Brimstone shall be scattered[H2219] upon his habitation[H5116].
16. His roots[H8328] shall be dried up[H3001] beneath[H4605], And above shall his branch[H7105] be cut off[H5243].
17. His remembrance[H2143] shall perish[H6] from the earth[H776], And he shall have no name[H8034] in the street[H6440].
18. He shall be driven[H1920] from light[H216] into darkness[H2822], And chased[H5074] out of the world[H8398].
19. He shall have neither son[H5209] nor son[H5220]'s son among his people[H5971], Nor any remaining[H8300] where he sojourned[H4033].
20. They that come after[H314] shall be astonished[H8074] at his day[H3117], As they that went before[H6931] were affrighted[H270].
21. Surely such are the dwellings[H4908] of the unrighteous[H5767], And this is the place[H4725] of him that knoweth[H3045] not God[H410].
