Job 18:4-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
4 You who tear yourself in your anger— Should the earth be abandoned for your sake, Or the rock moved from its place? 5'Indeed, the light of the wicked goes out, And the spark from his fire does not shine. 6The light in his tent is darkened, And his lamp goes out above him. 7His vigorous stride is shortened, And his own plan brings him down. 8For he is thrown into the net by his own feet, And he steps on the webbing. 9A snare seizes him by the heel, And a trap snaps shut on him. 10A noose for him is hidden in the ground, And a trap for him on the pathway. 11All around sudden terrors frighten him, And harass him at every step. 12His strength is famished, And disaster is ready at his side. 13 It devours parts of his skin, The firstborn of death devours his limbs.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 18
4You who tear yourself in anger — should the earth be abandoned on your account, or a rock be removed from its place? 5Yes, the light 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 is put out.
7His powerful stride is shortened, and his own schemes trip him up.
8For his own feet lead him into a net, and he strays into its mesh.
9A trap catches him by the heel; a noose seizes him.
10A rope lies hidden for him on the ground, and a snare waits for him along the path.
11Terrors frighten him on every side and harass him at every step.
New Living Translation
5'Surely the light of the wicked will be snuffed out. The sparks of their fire will not glow.
6The light in their tent will grow dark. The lamp hanging above them will be quenched.
7The confident stride of the wicked will be shortened. Their own schemes will be their downfall.
8The wicked walk into a net. They fall into a pit.
9A trap grabs them by the heel. A snare holds them tight.
10A noose lies hidden on the ground. A rope is stretched across their path.
English Standard Version
Chapter 18
4You who tear yourself in your anger, shall the earth be forsaken for you, or the rock be removed out of its place? 5"Indeed, the light of the wicked is put out, and the flame of his fire does not shine. 6The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp above him is put out. 7His strong steps are shortened, and his own schemes throw him down. 8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on its mesh. 9 A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare lays hold of him. 10A rope is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him in the path. 11 Terrors frighten him on every side, and chase him at his heels. 12His strength is famished, and calamity is ready for his stumbling. 13It consumes the parts of his skin; the firstborn of death consumes his limbs.New International Version
Chapter 18
4You who tear yourself to pieces in your anger, is the earth to be abandoned for your sake? Or must the rocks be moved from their place? 5"The lamp of a wicked man is snuffed out; the flame of his fire stops burning. 6The light in his tent becomes dark; the lamp beside him goes out. 7The vigor of his step is weakened; his own schemes throw him down. 8His feet thrust him into a net; he wanders into its mesh. 9A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare holds him fast. 10A noose is hidden for him on the ground; a trap lies in his path. 11Terrors startle him on every side and dog his every step. 12Calamity is hungry for him; disaster is ready for him when he falls. 13It eats away parts of his skin; death’s firstborn devours his limbs.New King James Version
