Job 18:5-14

^{Tools

“Indeed, the ^(A)light of the wicked goes out,
And the ^(a)flame of his fire gives no light.

^{Tools
6}

“The light in his tent is ^(B)darkened,
And his lamp goes out above him.

^{Tools

“His ^(b)vigorous stride is shortened,
And his ^(C)own scheme brings him down.

^{Tools
8}

“For he is ^(D)thrown into the net by his own feet,
And he steps on the webbing.

^{Tools
9}

“A snare seizes him by the heel,
And a trap snaps shut on him.

^{Tools
10}

“A noose for him is hidden in the ground,
And a trap for him on the path.

^{Tools
11}

“All around ^(E)terrors frighten him,
And ^(F)harry him at every step.

^{Tools
12}

“His strength is ^(G)famished,
And calamity is ready at his side.

^{Tools
13}

“^(c)His skin is devoured by disease,
The firstborn of death ^(H)devours his ^(d)limbs.

^{Tools
14}

“He is ^(I)torn from ^(e)the security of his tent,
And ^(f)they march him before the king of ^(J)terrors.
