Job 18:7
Compare all
5 “Thea 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.
