Job 18:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 18:11

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.

17 ^aThe memory of him perishes from the earth,
And he has no name¹ among the renowned.
