Job 18
KJV Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
King James BibleInternational Standard Version
1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,1Bildad from Shuah replied, saying:
2How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.2"When are you going to stop your word hunt? Think first, and then we can talk.
3Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?3Why do you think we're like dumb animals? Do you think we're stupid?
4He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?4You're tearing yourself to pieces in your anger. Will the land be abandoned because of you, or the rock be moved from its place?"
5Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.5"Indeed, the light of the wicked is extinguished; the flame from his fire doesn't shine.
6The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.6Light in his tent is dark, and his lamp goes out above him.
7The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.7His strong steps are restricted, and his own advice trips him up.
8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.8"For he has stumbled into a net with his own feet; he walked right into the network!
9The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.9The trap seizes him by the heel; a snare tightens its hold on him.
10The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.10A rope lies hidden in the dirt; a trap lies waiting for him where he is walking."
11Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.11"He is petrified by terror that surrounds him on all sides; they chase at his heels.
12His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.12He is starved for strength; and is ripe for a fall.
13It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.13Something gnaws on his skin; a deadly disease consumes his limbs.
14His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.14Torn from the security of his home, he is brought before the king of terrors.
15It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.15"There's nothing in his tent that belongs to him; sulfur is scattered all over his dwelling place.
16His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.16His roots wither underneath, while his branches above are being cut off.
17His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.17No one remembers him anywhere in the land; no one names streets in his honor.
18He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.18He is driven away from light to darkness, made to wander the landscape.
19He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.19He has no children or descendants within his own people; and no survivors where he once lived.
20They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.20People who live west of him are appalled at his fate; those who live east of him are seized with terror.
21Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.21Indeed, the residences of the wicked are like this; and so are the homes of those who don't know God."
