New Testament

Job 18:6-17 New International Version (NIV)

6. The light in his tent becomes dark; the lamp beside him goes out.

7. The vigor of his step is weakened; his own schemes throw him down.

8. His feet thrust him into a net; he wanders into its mesh.

9. A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare holds him fast.

10. A noose is hidden for him on the ground; a trap lies in his path.

11. Terrors startle him on every side and dog his every step.

12. Calamity is hungry for him; disaster is ready for him when he falls.

13. It eats away parts of his skin; death’s firstborn devours his limbs.

14. He is torn from the security of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors.

15. Fire resides in his tent; burning sulfur is scattered over his dwelling.

16. His roots dry up below and his branches wither above.

17. The memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name in the land.
