New Testament

Job 18:6-14 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

6. The light in his tent grows dark, and the lamp beside him is put out.

7. His powerful stride is shortened,and his own schemes trip him up.

8. For his own feet lead him into a net,and he strays into its mesh.

9. A trap catches him by the heel;a noose seizes him.

10. A rope lies hidden for him on the ground,and a snare waits for him along the path.

11. Terrors frighten him on every side and harass him at every step.

12. His strength is depleted;disaster lies ready for him to stumble.

13. Parts of his skin are eaten away;death’s firstborn consumes his limbs.

14. He is ripped from the security of his tentand marched away to the king of terrors.
