Job 18 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

“How ^H575 long ^H5704 will you hunt ^H7760 H7078 for words ^H4405?

Show ^H995 understanding ^H995, and then ^H310 we can talk ^H1696.

“Why ^H4069 are we regarded ^H2803 as animals ^H929,

As stupid ^H2933 in your eyes ^H5869?

“[fn]You who tear ^H2963 yourself ^H5315 in your anger ^H639—

Should the earth ^H776 be abandoned ^H5800 for your sake ^H4616,

Or the rock ^H6697 moved ^H6275 from its place ^H4725?

“Indeed ^H1571, the light ^H216 of the wicked ^H7563 goes ^H1846 out ^H1846,

And the spark ^H7632 from his fire ^H784 does not shine ^H5050.

“The light ^H216 in his tent ^H168 is darkened ^H2821,

And his lamp ^H5216 goes ^H1846 out ^H1846 above ^H5921 him.

“His [fn]vigorous ^H202 stride ^H6806 is shortened ^H6887,

And his own plan ^H6098 brings ^H7993 him down ^H7993.

“For he is thrown ^H7971 into the net ^H7568 by his own feet ^H7272,

And he steps ^H1980 on the webbing ^H7639.

“A snare ^H6341 seizes ^H270 him by the heel ^H6119,

And a trap ^H6782 snaps ^H2388 shut ^H2388 on him.

“A noose ^H2256 for him is hidden ^H2934 in the ground ^H776,

And a trap ^H4434 for him on the pathway ^H5410.

“All ^H5439 around ^H5439 sudden ^H1091 terrors ^H1091 frighten ^H1204 him,

And harass ^H6327 him at every step ^H7272.

“His strength ^H202 is famished ^H7457,

And disaster ^H343 is ready ^H3559 at his side ^H6763.

“[fn]It devours ^H398 parts ^H905 of his skin ^H5785,

The firstborn ^H1060 of death ^H4194 devours ^H398 his [fn]limbs ^H905.

“He is torn ^H5423 from [fn]the security ^H4009 of his tent ^H168,

And [fn]they march ^H6805 him before the king ^H4428 of terrors ^H1091.

“[fn]Nothing ^H1097 of his dwells ^H7931 in his tent ^H168;

Brimstone ^H1614 is scattered ^H2219 on his home ^H5116.

“His roots ^H8328 are dried ^H3001 below ^H4480 H8478,

And his branch ^H7105 withers ^H4448 above ^H4480 H4605.

“The memory ^H2143 of him perishes ^H6 from the earth ^H776,

And he has no ^H3808 name ^H8034 abroad ^{H5921 H6440 H2351}.

“[fn]He is driven ^H1920 from light ^H216 into darkness ^H2822,

And chased ^H5074 from the inhabited ^H8398 world ^H8398.

“He has no ^H3808 offspring ^H5209 or descendants ^H5220 among his people ^H5971,

Nor ^H369 any survivor ^H8300 where ^H4033 he resided ^H4033.

“Those in the west ^H314 are ^H8074 appalled ^H8074 at his [fn]fate ^H3117,

And those in the east ^H6931 are seized ^H270 with horror ^H8178.

“Certainly ^H389 these ^H428 are the dwellings ^H4908 of the wicked ^H5767,

And this ^H2088 is the place ^H4725 of him who does not know ^H3045 God ^H410.”
