New Testament

Job 18:1-10 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. And Bildaḏ the Shuḥite answered and said,

2. “When do you put an end to words? Understand, and let us then talk.

3. Why should we be reckoned as beasts, as stupid in your eyes?

4. You who tear yourself to pieces in displeasure – would the earth be forsaken for your sake? Or the rock move from its place?

5. Indeed, the light of the wrong goes out, and the flame of his fire does not shine.

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

7. The steps of his strength are impeded, and his own counsel overthrows him.

8. For he is sent into a net by his own feet, and he walks on a pit-fall.

9. The net seizes his heel, a snare prevails over him.

10. A noose is hidden on the ground for him, and a trap for him in the path.
