New Testament

Job 18:1-9 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Then Bildad the Shuhite replied,

2. "Job, when will you stop these speeches of yours? Be reasonable! Then we can talk.

3. Why do you look at us as if we were cattle? Why do you think of us as being stupid?

4. Your anger is tearing you to pieces. Does the earth have to be deserted just to prove you are right? Must all of the rocks be moved from their places?

5. "The lamps of sinful people are blown out. Their flames will never burn again.

6. The lights in their tents become dark. The lamps beside those who are evil go out.

7. They walk more slowly than they used to. Their own evil plans make them fall.

8. Their feet take them into a net. They wander right into it.

9. A trap grabs hold of their heels. It refuses to let them go.
