Job 18:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 18:5

Compare all

3 Why are we counted ^aas beasts,
And regarded as stupid in your sight?

4 ^aYou¹ who tear yourself in anger,
Shall the earth be forsaken for you?
Or shall the rock be removed from its place?

5 “The^a light of the wicked indeed goes out,
And the flame of his fire does not shine.

6 The light is dark in his tent,
^aAnd his lamp beside him is put out.

7 The steps of his strength are shortened,
And ^ahis own counsel casts him down.

8 For ^ahe is cast into a net by his own feet,
And he walks into a snare.

9 The net takes him by the heel,
And ^aa snare lays hold of him.

10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground,
And a trap for him in the road.

11 ^aTerrors frighten him on every side,
And drive him to his feet.

12 His strength is starved,
And ^adestruction is ready at his side.

13 It devours patches of his skin;
The firstborn of death devours his¹ limbs.

14 He is uprooted from ^athe shelter of his tent,
And they parade him before the king of terrors.

15 They dwell in his tent who are none of his;
Brimstone is scattered on his dwelling.

16 ^aHis roots are dried out below,
And his branch withers above.
