Job 18:7-17
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
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. 14He is torn from the security of his tent, And they march him before the king of terrors. 15 Nothing of his dwells in his tent; Brimstone is scattered on his home. 16His roots are dried below, And his branch withers above. 17The memory of him perishes from the earth, And he has no name abroad.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 18
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.
12His strength is depleted; disaster lies ready for him to stumble.
13Parts of his skin are eaten away; death’s firstborn consumes his limbs.
14He is ripped from the security of his tent and marched away to the king of terrors.
15Nothing he owned remains in his tent. Burning sulfur is scattered over his home.
16His roots below dry up, and his branches above wither away.
17All memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name anywhere.
New Living Translation
Chapter 18
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.
11'Terrors surround the wicked and trouble them at every step.
12Hunger depletes their strength, and calamity waits for them to stumble.
13Disease eats their skin; death devours their limbs.
14They are torn from the security of their homes and are brought down to the king of terrors.
15The homes of the wicked will burn down; burning sulfur rains on their houses.
16Their roots will dry up, and their branches will wither.
17All memory of their existence will fade from the earth; no one will remember their names.
English Standard Version
Chapter 18
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. 14He is torn from the tent in which he trusted and is brought to the king of terrors. 15In his tent dwells that which is none of his; sulfur is scattered over his habitation. 16His roots dry up beneath, and his branches wither above. 17His memory perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the street.New International Version
Chapter 18
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. 14He is torn from the security of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors. 15Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling. 16His roots dry up below and his branches wither above. 17The memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name in the land.New King James Version
