  • Job 18:5-9 : 5 Indeed, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine. 6 The light shall be dark in his dwelling, and his lamp shall be put out with him. 7 The steps of his strength shall be shortened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. 8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks upon a snare. 9 The trap shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him. 10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way. 11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet. 12 His strength shall be weakened by hunger, and destruction shall be ready at his side. 13 It shall consume the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall consume his strength. 14 His confidence shall be uprooted from his dwelling, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

  • Job 15:20-24 : 20 The wicked man writhes in pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden from the oppressor. 21 A dreadful sound is in his ears; in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him. 22 He does not believe that he shall return out of darkness, and he is marked for the sword. 23 He wanders abroad for bread, saying, 'Where is it?' He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. 24 Trouble and anguish make him afraid; they prevail against him, as a king ready for battle.
  • Job 20:11-29 : 11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust. 12 Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hides it under his tongue, 13 Though he spares it and does not forsake it, but keeps it still within his mouth, 14 Yet his food in his stomach is turned, it is the venom of asps within him. 15 He has swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God shall cast them out of his belly. 16 He shall suck the poison of asps; the viper's tongue shall slay him. 17 He shall not see the rivers, the streams, the brooks of honey and butter. 18 That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down; according to his wealth shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice in it. 19 Because he has oppressed and has forsaken the poor; because he has violently taken away a house he did not build; 20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save anything of what he desired. 21 None of his food shall be left; therefore no one shall look for his goods. 22 In the fullness of his sufficiency he shall be in distress; every hand of the wicked shall come upon him. 23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of His wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating. 24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of bronze shall strike him through. 25 It is drawn, and comes out of the body; yes, the glittering sword comes out of his gall; terrors are upon him. 26 Total darkness is reserved for his treasures; a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with the one who remains in his tent. 27 The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him. 28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of God's wrath. 29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage assigned to him by God.
  • Ps 73:18-20 : 18 Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. 19 How they are brought into desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors. 20 As a dream when one awakes; so, O Lord, when You wake up, You shall despise their image.
  • Prov 4:16-17 : 16 For they do not sleep unless they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they make someone fall. 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
