  • Job 18:5-9 : 5 Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there doth not shine a spark of his fire. 6 The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him is extinguished. 7 Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down doth his own counsel. 8 For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare he doth walk habitually. 9 Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the designing. 10 Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path. 11 Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have scattered him -- at his feet. 12 Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side. 13 It consumeth the parts of his skin, Consume his parts doth death's first-born. 14 Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him to step to the king of terrors.

  • Job 15:20-24 : 20 `All days of the wicked he is paining himself, And few years have been laid up for the terrible one. 21 A fearful voice `is' in his ears, In peace doth a destroyer come to him. 22 He believeth not to return from darkness, And watched `is' he for the sword. 23 He is wandering for bread -- `Where `is' it?'

  • Job 20:11-29 : 11 His bones have been full of his youth, And with him on the dust it lieth down. 12 Though he doth sweeten evil in his mouth, Doth hide it under his tongue, 13 Hath pity on it, and doth not forsake it, And keep it back in the midst of his palate, 14 His food in his bowels is turned, The bitterness of asps `is' in his heart. 15 Wealth he hath swallowed, and doth vomit it. From his belly God driveth it out. 16 Gall of asps he sucketh, Slay him doth the tongue of a viper. 17 He looketh not on rivulets, Flowing of brooks of honey and butter. 18 He is giving back `what' he laboured for, And doth not consume `it'; As a bulwark `is' his exchange, and he exults not. 19 For he oppressed -- he forsook the poor, A house he hath taken violently away, And he doth not build it. 20 For he hath not known ease in his belly. With his desirable thing he delivereth not himself. 21 There is not a remnant to his food, Therefore his good doth not stay. 22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he is straitened. Every perverse hand doth meet him. 23 It cometh to pass, at the filling of his belly, He sendeth forth against him The fierceness of His anger, Yea, He raineth on him in his eating. 24 He fleeth from an iron weapon, Pass through him doth a bow of brass. 25 One hath drawn, And it cometh out from the body, And a glittering weapon from his gall proceedeth. On him `are' terrors. 26 All darkness is hid for his treasures, Consume him doth a fire not blown, Broken is the remnant in his tent. 27 Reveal do the heavens his iniquity, And earth is raising itself against him. 28 Remove doth the increase of his house, Poured forth in a day of His anger. 29 This `is' the portion of a wicked man from God. And an inheritance appointed him by God.
