New Testament

Job 18:7-17 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

7. “His strong steps are shortened, and his own schemes throw him down,

8. for he is thrust into a net by his feet, and he walks into a pitfall.

9. A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare takes hold of him.

10. His rope is hidden in the ground, and his trap on the path.

11. “Sudden terrors terrify him all around, and they chase him at his heels.

12. His wealth will become hunger, and disaster is ready for his stumbling.

13. It consumes parts of his skin; the firstborn of death consumes his limbs.

14. He is torn from his tent in which he trusted, and it brought him to the king of terrors.

15. “Nothing remains for him in his tent; sulfur is scattered upon his dwelling place.

16. His roots dry up below, and its branches wither away above.

17. His remembrance perishes from the earth, and there is not a name for him on the street.
